An app idea to support communication in Mozambican sign language; it reached an Ionic scaffold.

Period
2021–2022
Status
Prototype
Role
Co-creator of the idea (team); the code is a colleague's
Client
EQUIP Moçambique

Problem

Everyday communication between hearing people and deaf people who use Mozambican sign language is hard, and few digital tools support it.

Solution

The repository holds an Ionic/Angular app scaffold with three tabs, built by a colleague. There is also a concept video (2022). Translation between Portuguese and sign language was never implemented.

Images

No publishable screens: the system needs real data to run or is no longer online.
