Kara Technologies has created the world’s first hyper-realistic sign language avatars (digital humans) backed by artificial intelligence, which can provide simultaneous translation of content (text/audio/video) and customer-facing service providers communication (banks, healthcare entities, emergency services) into sign language.

Created to help remove the communication barriers and information gaps for the deaf community, the avatars high fidelity faces and emotional expressions give them the ability to be fully expressive and engaging – easily connecting with the audience. They can preside at the bottom of any screen or on any device, interpreting any content into a signed language. This cutting edge animating blending technology provides accurate Sign Language translation in no time, and provides sign language access to emergency messages through API calls. 

Arash Tayebi, Sahar Izadi and Farmehr Farhour launched the company in 2017 and experienced angel investor Ken Erskine  has recently come onboard as a fourth co-founder after helping the company extensively for the last few years.
