Brightsign Glove

BrightSign was initially incorporated in 2017, to solve a problem that plagues the lives of millions in our world. Today, 230 million people worldwide are rendered non-verbal due to a number of disabilities, including hearing impairment, speech disabilities, strokes and autism. However, only 2% of these people have access to sign language education or the assistive technology that they need in order to be included and to have a normal life. Our company exists to solve this problem, using innovation to increase diversity and enable the inclusion of all people - regardless of their abilities. We have created a smart glove, using cutting-edge AI and machine learning technologies, that can translate any sign language (even one that the user has created themselves) into any spoken language. With a companion app for customisation - we support over 40 different language voice options to date, and allow the user to teach the glove any sign. Since our product launched, we have provided it to special schools, public sector organisations (including at airports and public events), assistive technology providers and Deaf and non-verbal individuals, all over the world. We also have distributors in 10 territories to provide local support and technical services.
