Sign Languages workspace
A governed, BSL-informed workspace for signing, learning and communication. It works on its own, and it works alongside The ALFI EDIE Framework when you want governance, help and shared reviews.
Help and governance
Honest limits, in plain English. If in doubt about whether the studio is suitable, treat the answer as no and ask a person.
Signed output is a BSL-informed signed-equivalent gloss, always paired with captions so meaning never depends on the animation alone. Words without a lexical sign are fingerspelled and listed openly. For safeguarding, medical, legal, employment or emergency conversations, a qualified interpreter is required — this studio supports them, it does not replace them.
