Overview
Signvrse is an artificial intelligence accessibility company headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya. Founded in 2023 by Elly Savatia, the company develops AI-powered sign language translation technology designed to facilitate communication between deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals and hearing users.
The company addresses communication barriers faced by deaf and hard-of-hearing communities across Africa. Sign language translation technology can reduce dependency on human interpreters and enable more accessible digital communication in contexts where professional interpretation services are unavailable or economically unfeasible.
Activities and products
Signvrse's primary product is Terp 360, a real-time sign language translation platform. The platform utilizes AI-powered 3D avatars to interpret speech and text into sign language, converting spoken or written input into visual sign language output through animated avatars. The technology is designed to operate in real-time communication contexts.
Stage and funding
Signvrse is at seed stage and raised seed funding in 2023 following its founding that year. Specific details regarding the funding amount or investor names have not been verified.
