The Genesis of a New Era in Deaf Accessibility
Inspired by pioneers, spokhand is leading a revolution in communication and inclusion for the Deaf community through cutting-edge AI.
Once, Laurent Clerc and Thomas Gallaudet unlocked the world of communication for the Deaf through sign language. Inspired by their legacy, spokhand is leading a new generation—Deaf individuals, CODAs, and hearing allies—committed to accessibility and inclusion.Born from a dream, spokhand strives to make sign language accessible to all. Our mission is to build the world’s largest sign language database, bringing sign language into everyday life—schools, workplaces, and public spaces. Sign language should be universal, inclusive, and available to everyone.
We are the bridge between two worlds, raised between the Deaf and the hearing. Watching our Deaf loved ones struggle in classrooms, job interviews, and daily life ignited our passion for change.
At the same time, our love for technology grew. From the internet to AI, we see tech not just as a tool, but as a force for connection and empowerment.
At spokhand, we see AI as more than a tool—it’s a bridge uniting worlds divided by language. We’re not just creating a database; we’re shaping a future where sign language is part of everyday life and every gesture counts.We dream of a world where no one is excluded, where connection is universal, and sign language belongs to everyone. Together, we’re making this dream a reality, one sign at a time.
