Voxsign is an adaptive speech recognition web application designed to understand impaired and non-standard speech patterns and convert them into meaningful Ugandan Sign Language gloss for sign language interpretation.
A powerful step toward bridging communication gaps and making conversations more inclusive through AI

Today we had the pleasure of being hosted by the Executive Director of the Uganda National Association of the Deaf (UNAD) Mr @bobnkwangu to discuss the future and impact of VoxSign on the Ugandan Deaf Community.
💬 “Technology speaks. So should accessibility.”
At VoxSign, we’re reimagining communication one gesture at a time.
🤝 Communication is connection.
Every sign, every word, every smile ....they all matter.

💡Team Spotlight: The VoxSign
Meet @TusuubiraVictor (Founder & CEO) and Kamanzi Ahmed (Team Member) — visionary innovators from our #GraduateInnovationProgram at @MakCoCIS
This team is creating an AI-powered application that translates spoken words into real-time Ugandan Sign Language (USL) through an interactive avatar.
Unlike generic transcription tools, this solution is tailored to Uganda’s linguistic context and Makerere University’s academic environment, ensuring that Deaf students can independently access online lectures, YouTube tutorials and offline audio resources without waiting for a physical interpreter.
This innovation guarantees inclusivity, academic freedom and equal participation in the digital learning space.
