A signing avatar on any page: videos, meetings and speech in Rwandan, American, British, French, Japanese or International Sign. Signa AI brings sign language to the whole web. Turn on the extension, choose your languages, and a signing avatar appears right on the page, signing what is being said as it is said. Drag it anywhere you like. Built Kinyarwanda-first, Signa is made for Rwanda and the wider Deaf community, with more of the world's languages added over time. WHAT IT DOES • Signs the speech on any web page, live, with an avatar right on the page • Works on the sites you already use: on YouTube, Google Meet, Zoom and Netflix it reads the captions directly • On any other site with a video, Signa listens to the video's own sound, so films and streams just work • Microphone mode signs people speaking in the room, for conversations, classes and meetings • Select any text on a page and press "Sign" to have just that passage signed • The video pauses briefly while the avatar catches up, so nothing is missed, then carries on by itself • A clear signer with every finger outlined, so hand shapes are easy to read LANGUAGES Spoken: Kinyarwanda, English, French, Swahili, Japanese Signed: Rwandan Sign Language, American Sign Language, British Sign Language, French Sign Language, Japanese Sign Language, International Sign Kinyarwanda and Swahili speech is recognised on our own servers in about half a second: a first-class experience for languages most tools ignore. WHY SIGNA Most of the web is built for people who hear. Captions help, but reading text is not the same as seeing your own language. Signa puts a signer on the page wherever there is speech, so Deaf and hard-of-hearing people can follow along in sign language, on their own terms. HOW TO USE 1. Pin Signa to your toolbar 2. Open a page with speech: a video, a meeting, an article 3. Open Signa and pick your spoken and signed languages 4. Press "Translate this tab": the avatar appears and starts signing Signa is free to try. Learn more at usesigna.org.
