THE PROBLEM
0M+

Deaf and hard-of-hearing people rely on sign language as their primary language — yet most of the hearing world can't understand a single sign.

A gap that costs more than convenience

When a Deaf patient can't communicate with their doctor, or a Deaf student can't access a live lecture, the consequences aren't just frustrating — they're life-altering. Trained interpreters are expensive, scarce, and unavailable 24/7.

SignSense was built to close that gap — not as a research prototype, but as a deployable, browser-native tool that works right now.

↑ $220K lifetime income gap for Deaf adults
↑ 83% face daily communication barriers
↑ Less than 2% of families learn sign language
HOW IT WORKS

Four steps. Under a second.

01

See

Your webcam captures live video — no special hardware, no sensors

02

Map

AI maps 258 keypoints across your hands, arms, and face every frame

03

Classify

30 frames of motion are analysed and matched to one of 200 known signs

04

Speak

The recognized word appears on screen and is spoken aloud instantly

Good lighting + plain background = higher accuracy. The AI normalizes for body size so distance doesn't matter.

WHAT WE BUILT

A camera that speaks
sign language.

Not a proof of concept. A deployable application — live on the web, working right now, zero installation required.

Accuracy 48%

Top-1 recognition rate across 200 signs — competitive with published research on the same benchmark dataset.

Latency <600ms

End-to-end response time from sign completion to spoken word output — fast enough for natural conversation flow.

Robustness Signer-agnostic

Works regardless of height, hand size, skin tone, or how far you are from the camera. No calibration needed.

Deployment Live API

Running on cloud infrastructure with uptime monitoring. Any browser, any device, just allow camera access.

WHERE IT MATTERS
01

Healthcare

Deaf patients communicating medical needs without a pre-booked interpreter

02

Education

Deaf students accessing AI tutoring platforms using their natural language

03

Workplace

Real-time translation in meetings and interviews where interpreters aren't available

04

Smart Interfaces

Controlling devices and applications through gesture — no voice or touch required

PERFORMANCE DATA

Numbers that
back the claim.

Four model variants were evaluated on the same benchmark. One won decisively — and it's the one running in the live demo.

Variant Top-1 Top-5 Status
★ CHAMPION Augmented 48.0% 82.4% Deployed
A Standard 36.8% 71.2% Evaluated
B Recurrent 36.8% 69.8% Evaluated
C Attentive 24.8% 57.1% Evaluated
MULTI-METRIC BENCHMARK

Accuracy, F1, precision, and recall — the champion model (orange) leads across all four.
