When the transaction is a conversation, the conversation is the transaction.

Real-time sign language translation for the moments where understanding is the product — designed to operate alongside qualified interpreters, not as a blanket substitute.

01The conversation is the transaction

Nothing physical changes hands.

What changes is that someone now understands something — and agrees to it. Every signature depends on the conversation that came before it.

A signature you can't defend begins with a conversation that wasn't understood.
02The obligation already exists

Most organizations simply haven't operationalized it.

The Americans with Disabilities Act requires effective communication. The obligation belongs to the covered entity — not the customer, not the citizen, not the patient.

Every sector is different. The obligation isn't.

Financial institutions

Banks · Credit Unions · Mortgage · Wealth Management

Conversations create legally binding financial decisions.

Automotive & lending

Dealerships · Finance & Insurance · Title

Complex purchasing decisions require meaningful communication.

Government

DMVs · Courthouses · Benefits · Elections

Public services carry accessibility obligations under Title II.

Professional services

Law Firms · Title Companies · Insurance · Real Estate

Advice has little value if it isn't understood.

Most organizations are compliant on paper. Few are prepared in practice.

03Scheduling is not availability

Qualified interpreters remain essential. But human availability has limits.

<14,000 interpreters

48M with hearing loss

Our research identified fewer than 14,000 certified interpreters serving a U.S. population of 48 million people with hearing loss. This is not an argument against human interpreters — it is an argument against making human availability the only layer.

A vendor relationship gives you access. It cannot guarantee the moment.
04Availability, without the appointment

A person signs. SignOra speaks. A person speaks. SignOra returns meaning.

SignOra is real-time, bidirectional translation between signing and speech — in the moment, on devices already there. Spoken replies return through captions and a signing interface.

Immediate

No scheduling. No queue. Available the moment the conversation begins — on devices already there.

Private

Designed for encrypted, controlled deployment in regulated environments.

Documented
