Talksign
Founders
Talksign is a Nigeria and UK-based AI startup founded to eliminate communication barriers faced by the deaf and hard-of-hearing community. The company develops real-time, bidirectional sign language translation models, including Talksign-1, Palm 1.0 (sign-to-speech), and Echo 1.0 (speech-to-sign with photorealistic avatars), all operable via standard webcam in a web browser. Talksign also operates an AI data marketplace where deaf communities, researchers, and institutions can contribute, annotate, license, and access sign language datasets, addressing the critical data infrastructure gap in accessibility AI. Named to the 2026 Slator Language AI 50 Under 50, Talksign is positioning itself as the foundational data and model layer for global sign language AI.
