SiMAX is a semi-automatic translation tool for translating conventional language content into sign language. It uses an avatar to sign the translated content for the hearing impaired. SiMAX enables the rapid translation of large quantities of text. In addition to websites, TV shows and movies, the tool can be used to translate the content of traffic announcements or package inserts with the help of an app. SiMAX is an important step towards the comprehensive elimination of barriers for the deaf.
