I can't wait for someone to make a sign language browser interface out of this. I'm sure things like that have been done with desktop accessibility apps, but embedding it into a web page or browser plugin would be amazing.

Please correct my understanding here if I'm wrong, but if a user was able to use sign language wouldn't they be able to type? What accessibility improvement are you envisioning?

I don't know sign language, but I can imagine that for some people typing might be much slower than using sign language.

Fluent sign language is much faster than typing. I think it's about the same speed as spoken word, so you'd get the same benefits as normal speech recognition.

It could also be useful in cases where you don't have a physical keyboard (mobile, for example, where you do have a camera...).
