Impact Story
In Africa, the deaf community faces significant barriers in accessing essential services, particularly in healthcare and education. Many hospitals and schools lack sign language interpreters, leaving deaf individuals unable to communicate critical medical concerns or access quality education. This communication gap leads to misdiagnoses, exclusion, and inequality in accessing fundamental human rights. At Ishara, we are tackling this challenge by leveraging AI-powered assistive communication technologies to bridge the gap between the deaf and the hearing world.
Our solution provides real-time sign language translation using AI and 3D animation technology to enable two-way communication in hospitals, schools, and other essential services. By integrating speech-to-sign and sign-to-text translation, we empower the deaf community to independently access healthcare, education, and information. Through our community-driven data collection and partnerships with hospitals and NGOs, we ensure that our solution is inclusive, effective, and scalable. Our goal is to impact millions of deaf individuals, improving their quality of life, fostering inclusion, and ultimately making the world more accessible for everyone.
