Speech-to-text helps a deaf person read what is said, but when they sign back, nobody understands. Visign is a live video call that translates both ways, in any browser, with no special hardware.

The hearing person holds a button and talks, in English or Nigerian Pidgin. The deaf person reads plain English and watches an avatar fingerspell it. The deaf person fingerspells to their camera; their letters become one natural sentence that the hearing person reads and hears, in English, Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo, Pidgin, French, Spanish, Arabic, Chinese or Korean. A blind user can tap one button to hear what their camera sees.

Rooms hold several people, and calls can be scheduled with a Google Calendar or .ics invite. Hands are tracked on the device, and the letter data includes Nigerian Sign Language. Today Visign reads fingerspelling, not full sign language; word signs are next.
