Welcome to DeafTawk

DeafTawk is a real-time communication bridge between deaf individuals and hearing persons. Our mission is to eliminate communication barriers and create an inclusive world where everyone can be understood.

With the DeafTawk Translate SDK, developers can integrate sign language support into their applications. The SDK accepts text input and plays corresponding sign language poses so deaf users can receive messages in a natural, accessible visual format.

Get started with the CDN script for quick drops, or use the React or Angular packages for structured apps.
