The Silent Crisis
Online Education is Inaccessible.
Deaf students in Sri Lanka cannot hear educational videos, and no dedicated platforms exist for them today.
This creates a massive educational gap, leaving them completely behind in the digital age.

Field Research
Validating the problem at Rathmalana Deaf School
Key Findings from Students & Teachers:
- Grammar & Subtitles: Sign language has its own distinct grammar, making fast subtitles exhausting for students to read.
- NIE Scientific Terms: The National Institute of Education (NIE) continuously creates specific new signs for complex scientific and technical words.
- Facial Expressions are Key: In sign language, facial expressions convey crucial grammatical and emotional meaning, not just hand gestures.

The Old Way
Manually translating, recording, and uploading a separate sign language video for every single lesson.
The EduSign Way
Our Chrome Extension overlays a real-time AI Avatar on ANY existing educational video instantly.
The Technology Stack
University-grade mathematics powering a seamless experience.
