Innovation Details

Instrumate Africa is a transformative educational technology initiative committed to redefining inclusive learning for students with hearing disabilities. It provides an innovative toolkit that integrates real-time text-to-sign language, sign-to-text, and speech-to-text capabilities to bridge communication gaps within classrooms and beyond.
