Speech-to-sign language translation software written by a team from Thailand won the main category of a Microsoft-sponsored software development contest for students, the Imagine Cup, on Thursday.
The four students from Kasetsart University in Bangkok won the software design category, ahead of six other finalists. They worked 12-hour days for six months to complete their entry, relying on strict planning to get them through logistical problems caused by riots and political instability in their home country.
