## What is Signer?

Introducing Signer! Automated translation of American Sign Language (ASL) into speech and text in real-time using artificial intelligence. Signer is your personal ASL assistant which can help facilitate conversation between those who are hard of hearing and those who do not understand ASL.

### 1/5 — Inaccurate + not worth downloading

*2024-09-12*

Can’t even tell the letter A from the sign “no”, only interpreted every single sign as either “no” or “hello”, occasionally “yes”. It thinks “mine” is “please”. Absolutely horrible and ridiculous.

### 2/5 — Mix up of signs

*2024-05-21*

My niece is deaf and she knows more than me. I was trying figure out what she’s saying to me last night she I used this app and it was terrible all that kept popping up was thank you, please, and hello. It even said mom was thank you. It didn’t translate well enough.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t read signer

*2024-02-25*

It isn’t very good. It didn’t actually translate what person was signing. Not useful. Great idea. Wish it did work.

### 1/5 — Only Translates 10 Words

*2024-02-15*

This app only translates 10 words /phrases and gets them wrong 80% of the time anyways. Not worth the download, I will be deleting.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2023-09-21*

Absolutely horrible, only translated 3 words, yes,hello, and no. Said low confidence to anything and translated nothing. Do not get this app

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2023-06-27*

It can’t read asl signs for anything

### 1/5 — Awful

*2023-05-29*

I can do any sign and all it thinks is I’m saying hello. Or it won’t read and says low confidence.

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2023-05-17*

Convert ASL to speech. looking forward to more signs

### 1/5 — Great job!

*2023-05-15*

### 1/5 — 4 words

*2023-05-02*
