Perhaps, but he didn't say he wanted it for use in a phone call. We'll see if he comes back with further information. I'm not aware of any app that would do such a translation during a phone call.

Won't pretty much any smartphone will do speech to text? There is an Android app called ASL Translator which allows you to type in a sentence and it will sign it. It doesn't do true ASL structure, but it works well enough for simple communication. Also at least on my phone someone can talk...
