Technology entrepreneur Raanan Liebermann has authored various technical publications and holds close to 10 patents. A resident of North Haven, Connecticut, Raanan Liebermann is the president of Signtel, Inc., a North Haven, Connecticut-based company that develops and sells products for people who are deaf, blind, or both. One of Signtel’s goals is to make communication easier between people who can hear and those who cannot. One of its flagship products is the Signtel Interpreter, a patented software that can translate text and speech into sign language with the help of artificial intelligence. The interpreter recognizes 30,000 English words and 1,400 idioms and phrases, connecting people who can hear with those who cannot. Besides its expansive vocabulary of recognizable terms, the Signtel Interpreter has many more features that set it apart. For example, it is the only interpreter that provides seamless connectivity between signs. It contextually differentiates between words that have several meanings and provides the correct sign interpretation and can fingerspell names such as Mr. Brown and Mr. Stone, differentiating them from the color brown or the object stone. The interpreter also has forced fingerspelling for difficult words and supports two-way recognition thanks to state-of-the-art speech recognition technology and a built-in lip reader.
