Intent

I need it when

Learn American Sign Language basics as a hearing parent wanting to communicate with a Deaf child

Signs provides interactive AI-driven learning with real-time feedback using a 3D avatar, specifically designed for hearing parents. The Learn section teaches foundational ASL signs with guided hand and finger positioning, enabling parents to build communication skills with their Deaf family members.

Learn ASL with structured progression through multiple difficulty levels

Signs offers tiered learning levels within the Learn section, allowing beginners to progress through foundational ASL understanding. Users can advance their comprehension of hand and finger movements critical to sign language meaning.

Access a verified, community-built ASL video dataset for research or application development

NVIDIA is collecting and annotating ASL videos through Signs and plans to release the dataset publicly starting 2025. Users can apply for access to this open dataset to build accessible technology for the Deaf community.

Contribute to building an open ASL dataset by recording sign language videos

Signs enables users to record and submit ASL sign videos that become part of a community-powered, open dataset verified by Deaf individuals and certified interpreters. Contributors help expand the platform's resources and support the next generation of ASL learners.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User seeks advanced ASL instruction beyond foundational hand and finger positions, as the platform explicitly focuses initially on hand and finger movements only
  • User needs comprehensive non-manual signals training (facial expressions, head movements), which the platform acknowledges it does not yet fully support
  • User requires offline learning without webcam or internet access, as the platform requires real-time AI feedback via webcam
  • User is seeking a commercial ASL dataset for immediate use, as the dataset is still being released starting 2025 with application-based access
  • User needs instruction in ASL dialects or regional variations beyond the core curriculum, as the platform focuses on established teaching curricula and native Deaf signer models
