VoxSign is two things working toward one goal: PearlEdu, a school management platform for institutions, and VoxSign Accessibility, AI tools that give Deaf, hard-of-hearing, and speech-impaired people a voice in the room.

Every VoxSign product exists to close a gap someone else's technology left open.
A school management platform for institutions — attendance, grading, fees, and communication in one place.
AI tools for Deaf, hard-of-hearing, and speech-impaired users — Ugandan Sign Language translation and assistive speech recognition.
Built for schools that need one system, not five disconnected ones.
Track student attendance across classes without paper registers.
Record and report assessment results in one consistent system.
Manage school fee billing and payments, including mobile money.
Keep staff, parents, and administrators on the same page.
Communication gaps shut people out — at school, at work, in everyday conversation. These two products close them from opposite directions.
Converts spoken words into Ugandan Sign Language through a lifelike AI avatar, in real time — for classrooms, calls, and videos.
VoxSign's speech recognition tool helps people with speech impairments be understood. It's built by training OpenAI's Whisper speech-recognition model on non-standard speech patterns, so it can accurately recognize what someone is saying even when their speech doesn't follow typical patterns.
