How it works

  1. Text in

    Written Mongolian goes in.

  2. Understand

    Each sentence is mapped to signs.

  3. Sign plan

    The signs become a timed sequence.

  4. Avatar

    A 3D signer shows it on screen.

Evidence

  • Our current dictionary, 1,398 signs43%
  • The same number, chosen by frequency84%
  • 3,000 signs, chosen by frequency91%

Out of every 100 words in national news, 43 are covered by our signs today. Choose the signs by how often words appear and the same dictionary covers 84.

Measured on 228 national news bulletins. Share of running words, not distinct words. News only; other genres will differ.

Our commitments to the Deaf community

  1. One common, mainstream sign variant is the standard; other variants are documented, not ignored.

  2. Nothing goes on air before Deaf viewers have tested it.

Questions

Does this replace interpreters?

No. It adds access where interpreters cannot reach, and interpreters remain essential.

Is it ready for live news?

Who is behind it?

A solo founder, Turmunkh Munkhbat.

Which sign variant?

One common mainstream variant, others documented.
