SIGNS

Voice assistants like Alexa, Google Assistant, and Cortana have transformed how we shop, search, and communicate. But what about the 466 million people worldwide with disabling hearing loss? For those without a voice—or the ability to hear—accessing these tools can feel impossible. That’s where the SIGNS Project comes in. SIGNS is an innovative smart tool that recognizes and translates sign language in real-time, enabling direct communication with voice assistant services. The idea was born out of the need to raise awareness for digital accessibility and inclusion, using gestures as a natural and intuitive way of communicating.
