**Signapse Develops AI Solutions for Real-Time Sign Language Translation **
Signapse is a company comprised of Deaf and hearing entrepreneurs, engineers, and researchers that develop artificial intelligence solutions for sign language translation and interpretation. This team seeks to improve accessibility for the Deaf community, who often struggle with understanding audio announcements and written language due to the unique nature of sign language.
The company’s technology involves digital signers, Marcel and Mia, whose photo-realistic appearances are used to translate content into sign language in real-time. These digital signers can translate audio, text, and video content.
Signapse is working on a variety of projects aimed at increasing accessibility:
1. Transport: They’re creating automatic sign language announcements for locations like train stations and airports using AI. The goal is to provide both regular and emergency announcements in sign language, thereby increasing accessibility for Deaf passengers.
1. Websites: Signapse is working on translating written website text into sign language. In collaboration with project partners Microlink and national banks, they aim to serve an audience of up to 80,000 Deaf people.
1. Broadcast: The company is developing a synthetic signer for use in broadcast media platforms. This technology reduces production costs, provides consistent signer appearance, and allows for the anonymization of the interpreter.
Signapse is looking for forward-thinking clients interested in advancing accessibility for sign language users. They also value partnerships with organizations that share their vision of cultural and linguistic ownership of sign language by the Deaf Community.
