A man in Kenya made a special app. The man\u2019s name is Elly Savatia. The app is called Terp 360.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The app helps people communicate. It changes words people say into sign language. It uses a 3D avatar to show the sign language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Savatia said the app is like a \u201cGoogle Translate\u00a0for sign language.\u201d People can talk\u00a0without\u00a0a\u00a0human interpreter.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Savatia won a\u00a0prize\u00a0called the\u00a0Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation. The prize gave him \u00a350,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Savatia said deaf people in Kenya often have problems. It is hard for them to go to a doctor or university. Many workers do not know sign language. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human interpreters cost too much money. Also, there are not enough interpreters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Savatia wants Terp 360 to help companies and workers. With the app, more deaf people can work at companies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deaf people in Kenya helped make the app. They\u00a0recorded\u00a0more than 2,300\u00a0signs. The app\u00a0translates\u00a0 English and\u00a0Swahili\u00a0into\u00a0Kenyan\u00a0Sign Language.Savatia wants to add more languages later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
