Indian Sign Language · for hearing families of Deaf children

A mirror that
teaches your hands
to sign.

दर्पण means mirror. SignDarpan shows you a real Deaf signer, then watches you on your webcam and coaches your handshape, place and movement — so families can start signing correctly, fast, inside the window that matters most.
