A WORLD WITH FEWER BARRIERS
Every gesture
deserves to be
understood.
A little movement. A meaningful connection.
Explore sign language, learn together, and see
what your hands can say.
LANGUAGE IS MORE THAN SOUND
A new way to
meet in the middle.
Sign languages are rich, visual languages with their own grammar and culture. This is a space to get curious, build everyday skills, and experiment with technology that brings people closer.
Our learning collection focuses on American Sign Language (ASL). It is not a universal sign language.

Your hands.
Your starting point.

WHAT THE STARTER MODEL CAN SEE
A thumbs-up is not the ASL sign for “yes.” A closed fist is not the ASL sign for “stop.” J, Z and many words require movement; ASL also uses the face and body.
CURRENT STARTER GESTURE
Ready when
you are.
Hold one supported pose clearly in frame.
YOUR TEXT
Text is a list of selected labels, not an ASL sentence translation.
TEACH IT SOMETHING NEW
Your personal gesture lab.
Record at least 3 examples per label, then test a fresh performance.
Use distinct gestures; a small personal dataset can make mistakes.
Learn the actual ASL sign from a trusted teacher first. Start after the countdown and perform the gesture within 2 seconds. Keep the same hand and camera position.
Camera must be on. Only hand landmarks are saved, never video.
Lower = stricter. Similarity is experimental, not a calibrated probability.
No test yet.

Is sign language the same everywhere?
No. ASL, British Sign Language and other sign languages are distinct languages. This collection focuses on ASL.
Can the camera translate full conversations?
No. The included model detects seven basic hand gestures. The personal lab compares your recorded hand movements with your examples. It does not understand ASL grammar, facial expression or unrestricted conversations.
Is my camera video uploaded?
No. Camera inference happens in your browser. Personal training stores landmark coordinates locally. External resource links open other websites, which have their own privacy policies.
How can I communicate more accessibly?
Ask which communication method the person prefers. Face them, keep your hands and face visible, and offer writing or captions. Do not assume every Deaf person lipreads or uses ASL.
