FAQ

Which sign languages are supported?

ASL (American), BSL (British) and RSL (Russian). Each language has its own fingerspelling alphabet plus a set of themed basic signs.

How do I show a word that is not in the dictionary?

Type it into the search box and the tool fingerspells the word letter by letter — the way deaf people show names, brands and rare words that have no dedicated sign.

Are these real signs?

The alphabet is shown with animated hand-shapes, and each themed sign comes with a text description of the hand movement as a starting reference.

Is this a complete sign dictionary?

For now it covers the fingerspelling alphabet and a set of basic themed signs, and it keeps growing. For any word with no dedicated sign, just fingerspell it.

Does this replace sign-language classes?

No. It is a visual reference to get started and memorize the alphabet — real fluency still needs practice with native signers.
