SignLanguage – Making ASL Education Accessible, Interactive, and Fun

American Sign Language (ASL) is a vital form of communication for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community — but traditional learning methods can be slow, outdated, or inaccessible. That’s why our team at Webdrip decided to create SignLanguage — an open-source mobile app designed to make learning ASL practical, engaging, and powered by AI.

💡 The Problem

Learning sign language often requires formal classes, repetitive video tutorials, or reading books that lack interactivity. Many tools don’t support practice-based learning, which is essential for mastering gestures, speed, and fluidity.

We wanted to solve this by offering a hands-on, AI-enhanced experience — accessible from any device, open to everyone, and free to use.


🎯 Our Vision

The goal was to build a gamified, interactive platform that:

  • 🖐️ Detects and evaluates hand gestures using machine learning
  • 🎥 Includes a large library of ASL phrases with video support
  • 🎮 Uses quizzes and games to make learning more fun
  • 📱 Works on both Android and Apple devices

🧠 Key Features

🎬 20,000+ ASL Phrase Videos

Explore a massive collection of video content that demonstrates real-world ASL usage, taught phrase-by-phrase.

🔤 Learn the Basics with ML

Start with A-Z alphabets and numbers 1-10 using real-time hand detection powered by machine learning.

🎮 Quizzes & Games

Reinforce learning through AI-powered mini-games and interactive quizzes that test your recognition and form.

🍏 Cross-Platform Support

SignLanguage is now live on the web and compatible with Apple devices — making ASL learning more accessible than ever.

🧪 Coming Soon: Phrase Detection

We’re working on new features like automatic phrase detection — so you can practice, get feedback, and improve in real-time.


🌐 Open-Source for Impact

SignLanguage is not just a product — it’s a community-driven initiative. We’ve made the entire codebase public so that others can contribute, localize, or extend it to other sign languages around the world.
