What should I build next for signspell?

Hey everyone signspell (v2.0.0) is now on PyPI and I recently launched it on Product Hunt. It currently handles ASL fingerspelling (A Z) recognition using MediaPipe hand landmarks + a TFLite LSTM model, and I also built Gesto Labeller (a desktop tool for capturing/labeling training data).

I'm trying to figure out the next milestone and would love input from people actually using or evaluating it:

  • Would full word/phrase-level ASL recognition (beyond fingerspelling) be more valuable than polishing fingerspelling accuracy further?

  • Is real-time performance/latency on lower-end devices a bigger blocker than accuracy right now?

  • Should the next priority be broader sign language support (BSL, ISL, etc.) or going deeper on ASL first?

  • Any specific integrations you'd want (e.g. web SDK, mobile bindings, browser extension) that would make signspell more usable in your projects?

Genuinely open to being told I'm focusing on the wrong thing what's the gap you'd want filled next?

What should Tool become β€” open source or with community Edition?

Hey everyone,

I've been building a labelling tool, a desktop app (PyQt6) for capturing and annotating gesture datasets think of it as a companion tool for gesture recognition pipelines like Gesto, making it easier to collect, label, and export hand landmark data for training models.

I'm at a fork in the road on direction, and I'd love your input:

1. Open source it release it freely (currently GPL-3.0), let the community use it, contribute, and shape where it goes.

Should I launch as an update on signspell page or a new launch | as a seperate product

Hi everyone,
I am about to complete my framework.
Should I keep the same Signspell or a new name for this framework.
I have GESTO in mind.
I have some initial tractions in the signspell thread.
What you suggest.
Having the samething or a new product launch itself.

What's next after signspell: open-sourcing a gesture recognition framework

Thanks so much for all the support on signspell!

One thing building this taught me: almost every gesture/action recognition project ends up rebuilding the same infra from scratch capturing frames, labelling landmarks, exporting clean datasets for training.

Signspell - Real-time ASL alphabet recognition in py ,pip install and go

Signspell is an open-source Python package that recognises the American Sign Language fingerspelling alphabet live from your webcam. It works as both a command-line tool and an importable library. Install it, run one command, and start signing letters that appear on screen.Built with MediaPipe hand tracking and an LSTM model, it runs smoothly on an ordinary laptop CPU, no GPU required. MIT licensed and built for developers, students, and educators curious about computer vision and accessibility.
