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.
Real Deaf-signer video · runs in your browser · your camera never leaves your device.
Why this exists
So the bottleneck isn't translation — it's a family learning to sign right, quickly. That's the gap SignDarpan fills.
How it works
- 01
Watch a real signer
Every sign is demonstrated by a real Deaf signer — never an avatar, never invented.
- 02
Mirror it
Your webcam puts you beside the teacher, with a target outline to fit your hand into.
- 03
Get coached
An on-device check compares your handshape, place and movement and gives a plain tip.
Built with care, not hype
- Free & non-commercial. No charge, no ads, no selling data.
- Real Deaf-signer content. Videos from the AI4Bharat INCLUDE dataset (CC BY 4.0).
- Private by design. The webcam runs entirely in your browser; video never leaves your device.
- Honest. A self-check coaching aid — not a replacement for a Deaf teacher or interpreter.
