No app to install. Hermes joins your FaceTime call as the other participant and does the interpreting in between.
One sign at a time: raise your hands, sign, lower them. Hermes watches your hands, face and shoulders.

ElevenLabs speech-to-textHermes judges a sign when your hands come down, so give each one a clear start and end.
Sit back so the camera sees from the top of your head to your chest. Hermes measures where your hands are relative to your face.
Raise your hands, make the sign once, then lower them to your lap or out of view.
Three seconds with no new sign finishes the sentence and Hermes says it.
If Hermes isn't sure, it adds nothing rather than guessing. Just repeat the sign.
