Sign Learner: Learn Sign Language Online While Browsing

Sign Learner is a Chrome extension aimed to simplify learning of sign language. As you browse the web normally, this tool highlights random words on each page. On hovering over these highlighted words, it renders a video showing the corresponding sign. It supports American and British Sign Language with an extensive database of over 4000 signs. It is not only an effortless way to learn new signs but allows reinforcement of known signs via this intelligent process.

Thank you so much for this extension, I love using it to learn new BSL signs! Please, consider adding the support for Czech sign language in the future. 🙏🏻

It has being an awesome experience to have this extension on my computer. I get to learn one of two words per page on almost any website. And repeat words with mix new words , so you won't forget what you already learn and keep learning new ones. I love it and I highly recommend this extension. ♥

I'm using this to supplement other BSL learning and I'm really enjoying it! Very useful indeed to introduce new signs and reinforce already learned ones.
