Speak.
They see sign.
TalkSide captures speech from any microphone and drives an avatar to sign the words in real time — making spoken environments instantly accessible to Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing users.

How it works
TalkSide uses the Web Speech API's continuous recognition mode to stream an interim transcript as the speaker talks. Each word (or phrase chunk) is passed to the same SignType animation engine, which queues and plays the corresponding sign. Interim words are held in a pending queue until the final transcript fires, preventing premature animation commits on misrecognitions.
Speaker language is auto-detected from browser locale, but can be locked to English or Arabic in the settings panel. Arabic speech routes directly to the ArSL animation library.
Use cases
A hotel, clinic, or government reception desk with a screen running TalkSide becomes independently accessible without staff training.
Audio guides play alongside a TalkSide signing avatar on a tablet stand — no ASL-fluent staff required in every room.
Teacher lectures are simultaneously signed for Deaf students on a side screen, reducing dependence on a single human interpreter.
A call-center agent speaks; TalkSide renders sign on the Deaf customer's screen. No relay service needed.
