About us

Signapse is a Sign Language translation software company that uses Generative AI to achieve photo-realism and accuracy to provide greater accessibility for the Deaf community. Broadcast media, announcements in public spaces, and websites can be inaccessible if you are a sign language user and it is our job to make sure your organisation provides great access for Deaf people. All of the world’s digital information currently exists in a written and audible format. Signapse won’t stop until all this information is automatically available in Sign Language.

    We're thrilled to see our work being recognised for enhancing Deaf accessibility. At Signapse, our mission is to break down communication barriers for the Deaf community by streaming digital signers directly onto mobile screens. Our recent collaboration with GoMedia Services Ltd, where we provide signed announcements on mobile for Deaf passengers, is just one example of how technology can bridge gaps and create a more inclusive world. Thank you Henry Ajder for spotlighting the positive impact of AI on accessibility. Together, we're proving that when developed responsibly, AI can indeed be a force for good. #AI #accessibility #generativeAI #innovation

    How are AI and synthetic media changing society for the better? It's a question I'm often asked- and from many different examples, accessibility always first comes to mind. For people with a range of disabilities, AI is transforming the way they communicate and interface with a world that for too long hasn't accommodated their needs. A great recent example comes from UK startup Signapse, who generate sign language avatars directly from text and audio sources. This post’s video is from their partnership with a British train service, providing deaf passengers with signed announcements that would usually be inaccessibly played over a speaker in the station. It’s just one of many initiatives and companies making waves in the space: 👓 Danish company Be My Eyes GPT4/O integration and Meta AI on its smart glasses could be huge in helping the visually impaired navigate the world using multi-modal models that provide image and video to narrated text capabilities. 🎤 Project Revoice helps those who have lost the ability to speak preserve the unique sound of their voice (and a critical part of their identity) by building personalised text-to-speech models. 💬 LLMs and apps like Inner Voice, Inc. have become invaluable to some neurodiverse users who struggle with situations such as formal writing and navigating social situations. There are still questions about chatbots being used in therapeutic contexts, but for many, they provide a helpful, non-judgemental, and personalised assistant for navigating life. Parts of my expertise and work focus on addressing the misuse of AI and synthetic media, which leads many to assume I must be a total ‘doomer’ or a pessimist about the technology. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. I’m incredibly optimistic about the ability of AI and synthetic media to open opportunities and experiences to those who have historically been left out, from accessibility and education to healthcare and creativity. It doesn’t negate the challenges of misuse, but when developed responsibly and with prosocial aims, generative AI can (and I believe will!) change our world for the better in many ways. #AI #accessibility #generativeAI #innovation #syntheticmedia

    [NEWS] Arriva Rail London begins trialling GoMedia’s Digital Signer solution, 'Luna', at five stations. Powered by Signapse technology and integrated with GoMedia Services Ltd’s accessible wayfinding solution, ‘Visor’, Luna translates digital information listed online into British Sign Language (BSL) and transmits it directly to the user through their smart device via a personalised digital signer. In addition to BSL, passengers will be also able to access the information Luna provides through audio and text announcements in up to 33 languages, extending the solution's usefulness to more users, for example people who wear noise cancelling headphones when travelling.  The trial will take place until September 2024.  Read more here: https://lnkd.in/egmyfQRd #BSL #TransportAccessibility #London #LondonOverground
