I don't get it. After the opening titles of The Lonely Penguin there is a page of book type signs and pressing them results in a blank page. Brilliant.

This app has so much potential and I really wanted to like it however it's extremely confusing. On looking into things further it seems you need the physical book but when you search for help or information on the app you are presented with 3 pictures which do not really explain anything. There needs to be an option to use the physical book or purchase it within the app. I really hope that some improvements and clarifications are made, definitely would love to use.

thank you for the start you have made with this app, it is perfect way of showing how technology can make anybodys life easier especially if they have any sort of disability. but this is perfect for being able to read books with people who are deaf i know that there is so many different types of sign languages around the world so it will take time for others to be added so i would never deducte stars because a certain sign language isn't included.

So, there are several clear problems with the app that need addressing. The only instructions or help are three unclear, unuseable icons.. It seems one must own the book and this is mentioned in a small (i) icon once a "book" is downloaded, but no mention is made of what to do to make it work. Another user mentions that the app only works for huawei which would be fair if that was mentioned by the developer. User-testing is tricky, but the app is currently unuseable. Best of luck, fixing it.

This app is nearly a year old and only has one book to read? Not only that, but you need to physically have the book as well and it doesn't even work. Why not just have something like a database of words that it can translate from the camera similar to Google Translate? Then you could read ANY book with your child.

This app could be great it has the potential and great goals in mind but one book is not enough! I would also say that it does seem pointless doing the camera scan if you only support certain books and cant use any book the owner has, you may as well just sell digital books with the animations attached! If this could read any of my kids books then i would give it 5 stars. I know it is a challenge but great start so far and with the introduction of more books maybe digital versions then deffo 5*

About this app

StorySign helps to open the world of books to deaf children. It translates children’s books into sign language, to help deaf children learn how to read.

There are 32 million deaf children in the world, many of whom struggle to learn to read. One of the main reasons being that deaf children can struggle to match printed words with the concepts they represent. With StorySign, we help change that.

HOW DOES STORYSIGN WORK?

Please make sure you have a physical copy of the book for StorySign to scan and bring to life.

STEP 1 - Download the app and click on the selected book from the StorySign Library

STEP 2 - Hold your smartphone over the words on the page of the book’s physical copy, and our friendly signing avatar, Star, signs the story as the printed words are highlighted

StorySign is a free app, that translates children’s books into 15 different sign languages: American Sign Language (ASL), British Sign Language (BSL), Australian Sign Language (Auslan), French Sign Language (LSF), German Sign Language (DSG), Italian Sign Language (LSI), Spanish Sign Language (LSE), Portuguese Sign Language (LGP), Dutch Sign Language (NGT), Irish Sign Language (ISL), Belgian Flemish Sign Language (VGT), Belgian French Sign Language (LSFB), Swiss French Sign Language (LSF), Swiss German Sign Language (DSGS) and Brazilian Sign language (LSB).

So far, the app offers five popular children’s books for each local sign language, including much-loved best-selling titles from Eric Hill’s Spot series.

StorySign has been developed in close partnership with the European Union of the Deaf, local deaf associations and deaf schools, and developed with classic children’s titles from Penguin Books.
