At 25, Kenyan innovator Elly Savatia is revolutionizing accessibility with Signvrse – an AI-powered platform translating sign language in real time. Born from a 2020 robotics training tour where Savatia witnessed deaf students struggling with limited interpreter access, this tech now empowers millions globally. 🚀
"We’re turning gestures into universal understanding," Savatia told NewspaperAmigo.com this week. Signvrse’s AI analyzes body movements and facial expressions through smartphone cameras, delivering instant text/speech translations. For young professionals and students, it’s like having a pocket interpreter. 📱💬
Six years after its inception, Signvrse is expanding partnerships with schools and workplaces across Asia and Africa. This year’s updates include regional sign language customization, addressing dialect variations from Japanese Sign Language to Indian Sign Language. 🌏✨
