Behind the Signs:
How We Build Our AI Sign Language
How Our Process Works.
Our advanced AI delivers sign language translation at scale. It is powered by the Kara Notation System (KNS), which gives our models a structured way to represent sign language.
We do not translate word-for-word. Our AI is trained on the core linguistic features of sign language, including facial expression, spatial direction, timing, and role-shifting. This allows the system to understand meaning, context, and intent, not just individual signs.
By combining artificial intelligence with linguistic structure, Kara produces accurate, clear, and culturally appropriate sign language translations for real-world accessibility.
Kara AI Humans
Kara AI Digital Humans combine our sign language technology with a lifelike, human appearance creating signed content that feels more familiar, expressive and relatable.
Create any AI Human for your audience.
Kara can create bespoke AI Humans to suit your community, brand, audience and purpose. Different appearances, styles and identities give organizations greater choice in how accessible information is represented and delivered.
With realistic facial expression, more natural movement and a human-like presence, our AI humans are designed for content where connection, engagement and relatability really matters.
Create your AI Human with us.
Kara AI Humans are only available through Kara Hybrid, for pre recorded signed content. AI Humans are not yet available through Kara’s instant AI translation or API products just yet.
