There
are 32 million deaf children in the world, and most of them struggle to read,
because they can’t learn phonetically. So we created StorySign, a revolutionary
free app which scans the words in selected children’s books and instantly
translates them into sign language, using the most advanced signing avatar
ever. The first global literacy platform for the deaf, StorySign truly embodies
Huawei’s brand promise to ‘push the limits of what is humanly possible’. The
app was created by an alliance of international partners, including 11 deaf
charities, Academy Award-winning animators, and the world’s leading
publisher. StorySign shows how AI can make a positive difference,
by helping to solve a human problem. And nothing is more human than a child
being able to enjoy a bedtime story for the first time.
