Why it's different

Built for Deaf learners, not captioned as an afterthought

Most platforms add captions to content made for hearing people. We start the other way around: every lesson is created and delivered in signed language, by signers, for signers.

  • Signed instruction on every lesson - not auto-captions
  • Visual-first design: clear, high contrast, easy to follow
  • English captions and text alternatives available alongside
  • ADA, Section 508, and WCAG 2.1 AA compliant
