+# TCASL
+
+TCASL is a lightweight, pure Python inference engine for predicting American Sign Language (ASL) gestures using Temporal Contrast, simulating a Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS).
+
+## Features
+
+* **Zero-Bloat Inference:** A strictly defined PyTorch wrapper built specifically for rapid prediction.
+* **Temporal Contrast Processing:** Built-in methods to convert standard webcam video into DVS-style event frames.
+* **Auto-Formatting:** Automatically center-crops and down-scales raw video arrays to the 128x128 resolution required by the network.
+
+## Installation
+
+You can install the latest release of TCASL from PyPI using `pip`:
+
+```bash
+pip install TCASL
+```
+
+## Usage in Python
+
+Examples of how the library can be used can be found in [examples/](examples/). You should not edit this code unless you read the documentation thoroughly, which is located at [src/tcasl/core.py](src/tcasl/core.py).
+
+## TCASL Project
+
+You can find information about TCASL on the [GitHub page](https://github.com/keshavshankar08/TCASLCore).
