We’re excited to launch SignStream Dev, our new developer solution that lets organisations, developers and technical teams add real-time sign language translation directly to their live streams. It gives teams the tools to make live content accessible without changing the way they broadcast. 

Real-time. On-demand. Scalable. 

SignStream Dev is designed for a simple purpose: to make sign language a built-in part of live streaming, not an afterthought. 

Create Your First Stream. Manage Your API Keys. 

Getting started with SignStream Dev takes place in our developer portal. From there, teams can create and manage their API keys, set up streams and connect them to the platforms and workflows they already use. 

Each stream can be personalised to suit your audience. Choose your sign language and your Digital Signer, and SignStream Dev handles the rest, delivering real-time sign language translation as your content goes live. 

Works with the Streams You Already Use

Live streaming setups vary, so SignStream Dev is compatible with multiple stream types, including RTMP, SRT and LHLS. That means teams can bring sign language into existing broadcasts without rebuilding their setup from scratch.

BSL, ASL and More Languages Coming Soon 

SignStream Dev currently supports British Sign Language (BSL) and American Sign Language (ASL). German Sign Language (DGS) is coming soon, extending the reach of live sign language to more DeEaf communities across Europe.

Seamless Integration, Built to Scale 

SignStream Dev is designed to slot into your existing products, services and workflows, so adding sign language doesn’t mean starting again. It’s also built to support high-volume and continuous use cases, from one-off events to around-the-clock streams. 

Only Pay for What You Use

Signapse is committed to keeping accessibility tools within reach, and SignStream Dev’s pricing reflects that. Teams only pay for what they use, so costs scale with your streaming needs rather than ahead of them. You only need 10 credits in your account to create a stream. 

Every new user also receives 1 free minute of setup time, giving you space to build, test and get comfortable before going live. 

Start Building Accessible Streams Today 

SignStream Dev is available now for organisations, developers and technical teams who want to make live streams accessible by default. Whether you’re adding sign language to your first stream or building it into a platform that continuously streams, SignStream Dev gives you the building blocks to do it. 

Try SignStream for free or book a demo to see how our sign language solutions can be seamlessly integrated into your organisation.
