1. A communication system, comprising:
a communication device configured to perform at least one of: capture a video stream, display a video stream, receive a text input, display a text output, receive an audio input, and display an audio output; and
a translation engine in operable communication with the communication device, the translation engine configured to generate a translation of sign language content contained in a video stream into word content,
wherein during the generation, the translation engine is configured to determine word content that corresponds to sign language content in at least one sign language content segment of a video stream using contextual data from one or more words previously determined by the translation engine from one or more previous sign language content segments of the video stream and using one or more content indicators from the at least one sign language content segment, the one or more content indicators including a size and/or speed of a motion pattern that is used to make a sign in the sign language content segment that represents a word, an interpretation of the motion pattern as representing the word not being affected by the size and/or speed of the motion pattern.
