Most people don't realize that American Sign Language (ASL) is just one of over 300 sign languages worldwide! The linguistic diversity is truly amazing.
However, apps that only offer features in ASL are limiting themselves to a small spectrum of sign language users, potentially perpetuating a form of linguistic exclusion in the digital space.
At GoSign.AI, we're committed to breaking down these barriers. Our mobile app is now available in 18 sign languages and growing.
In just the last two weeks, we've seen downloads from a diverse range of countries including:
Czechia, Germany, United States, Brazil, Belgium, Pakistan, Austria, Sweden, France, Canada, Malaysia, South Africa, Mexico, Philippines, Hungary, India, and Ukraine.
This global presence demonstrates how interconnected our world has become through the web, with knowledge spreading faster than ever before.
Our goal at GoSign.AI is to create a truly inclusive, culturally responsive, and globally accessible technology environment that reflects and respects the world's linguistic landscape.
To accessibility companies focusing on just one sign language, there's a whole world out there to consider. We must collectively do better in serving the needs of all deaf people worldwide, not just those in high-income countries like the US.
