About Us
At Signmi, we’re dedicated to breaking down communication barriers between Deaf and hearing communities. Our innovative AI technology makes it simple for anyone to translate between sign language and spoken or written English quickly, naturally, and with cultural understanding. We believe accessibility shouldn’t be an afterthought, so we design our tools with sign language at the heart of the experience. Our project is built for the Deaf community, with the goal of making everyday life more accessible from education and healthcare to travel, entertainment, and beyond. Whether you’re creating content, connecting with customers, or supporting inclusive communication, Signmi helps you make every interaction accessible and empowering. Our mission is to make seamless, two-way communication possible for everyone, everywhere.
Our Story
Igniting Connections
In a world where words can echo loudly but signs often fade into silence, Signmi was born with both urgency and empathy. Founded in 2025 by a group of visionary developers through interaction with the deaf community. Deaf educator frustrated due to inaccessible lectures, to witnessing families divided by unspoken stories—our journey began to bring a solution. Starting with sketches of avatars to collaboration with animators and the deaf community to co-design for every gesture. We're not just building tools; we're composing a symphony where every voice—spoken or signed—blends seamlessly.
Our Vision & Mission
Our Vision: A World without Walls
To create a world where Deaf and hearing people communicate freely—without barriers, delays, or dependence on human interpreters. At Signmi, we believe language should connect, not divide. Through advanced AI and culturally aware design, we bring sign language to the digital world in real time, bridging millions of conversations every day. Imagine a classroom where a teacher's words become fluid signs, a hospital where vital advice displays across a screen, or a social feed where stories unfold, seamlessly turning exclusion into an effortless exchange. Our vision is not just about access, but about equality—where communication flows naturally and authentically for everyone. We see a future where technology amplifies human understanding instead of replacing it, where connection is universal, and every interaction speaks the language of inclusion.
Our Mission
At Signmi, our mission is simple yet profound: to make every word visible and every voice accessible. We are developing the first multilingual, AI-powered system capable of translating speech, text, documents, and video into expressive sign language animations—bridging communication gaps through empathy, innovation, and inclusion. Guided by three foundational values, we centre Deaf voices in our design to ensure every translation reflects the authenticity, grammar, and emotion inherent to sign language. Our technology integrates advanced natural language processing and 3D animation to deliver translations that are accurate, expressive, and contextually aware. We enable educators to communicate effectively, creators to connect broadly, and organisations to foster truly inclusive environments.
Beginning in the UK, USA, and MENA regions, with multi-dialect support for ASL, BSL, ArSL, and beyond, Signmi extends accessibility across languages and cultures. Through culturally informed design and real-time AI intelligence, we are redefining how information is shared in classrooms, workplaces, healthcare, and digital platforms—ensuring that no Deaf person is ever excluded from access, opportunity, or understanding.
