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.
Choose a topic, watch the sign, slow it down, step through the gloss and practise. Your progress stays on this device.
Practise names and new words with the fingerspelling converters for BSL, Auslan, ASL, International Sign and ISL.
Choose a sign to see how it is formed and watch the avatar perform it. Every lesson here comes from the verified British Sign Language set.

Saved on this device. Sign in and bookmarks save to your profile automatically.
Recipients can play, scrub and read captions only — they cannot change anything, and the link stops working once it expires or you withdraw it.
Sign something and every token will be listed here with its timecode, gloss and written description, ready to select and download.
Caption files are written in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
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.
Gemma’s alphabet recordings and contributor still images, with replay and slow playback.
