Whether you're a beginner or brushing up your skills, Signer gives you instant, real-time feedback — no Wi-Fi required.

Fluid bone animations show each pose clearly, with dynamic motions for letters like J and Z. WORD PRACTICE MODE Choose from 163 common words and spell them out letter by letter. A live progress bar tracks your confidence as you sign, and the app speaks each letter and word aloud when you get it right. ALPHABET REFERENCE Browse an illustrated A–Z grid of ASL hand shapes. Tap any letter to enter single-letter practice mode with live camera feedback alongside the reference image.
