SiMAX is the first 3D animated avatar system for sign language. We translate texts into various sign languages and make the digital world accessible to the deaf. SiMAX is extremely efficiently and cost-effectively. You can use it in many ways. Embedded in videos or as a separate clip for instance for websites. Let’s make the world of information accessible for the deaf together.

 

SiMAX has been recognized by WSA as exemplary in helping meet UN SDG 4: Quality Education and UN SDG 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure. For it's role in creating a more inclusive society, it was given the WSA Award for Inclusion and Empowerment.
