IssieSign is an app that provides a simple solution for introducing and teaching signs and gestures using an intuitively designed and customizable library.
It was developed in collaboration with The Technology Center of Beit Issie Shapiro and SAP Labs Israel.
With a simple, clear and tailor-made design allowing for easy access and navigation for people with motoric or intellectual difficulties, IssieSign can be a significant means of communication and can help people with complex communication needs express themselves more effectively.

2. IssieSign for Hebrew Speakers:
An app for learning how to sign basic vocabulary, based on Israeli Sign Language (ISL), for the purpose of expressing needs and ideas.
Unique Features:
- Over 800 videos within the app
- Each sign appears in the video along with the spoken word, the written word, and a familiar symbol (SymbolStix* - used in many special education schools for communication)
- Vocabulary for preschool and elementary aged children
- Categories are classified by color for easy recognition and efficiency
- Each video is structured according to the first stages of language development – each video contains the word as a one-word stage and as a two-word stage. For example, the video for "dog" will have a clip signing "dog" followed by the sign for "big dog"/
- Options to add categories, videos, and to share with others
