Features

Everything you need to be understood.

Real-time ASL interpretation

Sign the way you normally do. Squirl recognizes each sign as you make it, so nothing gets lost.

Live captions and speech

What you sign appears as captions, and Squirl reads it aloud for the person listening.

English, French and Spanish

Pick the language for the person you're talking to. More languages are on the way.

Privacy by design

Squirl reads the movement of your hands, face and body, not stored video. Nothing is kept unless you choose to share it.

How it works

From a sign to a sentence in four steps.

  1. Sign

    Sign in front of your phone, tablet or laptop camera.

  2. Recognize

    Squirl tracks your hands, face and body to recognize each sign.

  3. Translate

    The signs become a natural sentence, with facial grammar and context taken into account.

  4. Speak

    The sentence appears on screen and is read aloud.
