About SmartSignReader
Real-time ASL alphabet recognition
What is SmartSignReader?
SmartSignReader is a web-based application that recognizes American Sign Language (ASL) alphabet in real-time. Using advanced hand tracking technology, it detects hand gestures through your camera and translates them into letters, helping users learn ASL, practice fingerspelling, or communicate more effectively.
Built for accessibility and education, SmartSignReader runs entirely in your browser—no installation, no server backend, and no personal data sent anywhere. Your camera feed stays on your device.
