How it Works
1. One Word, One Sign: VoiceSign follows a simple rule—each English word is represented by one unique sign. This eliminates ambiguity and creates a consistent, easy-to-learn system.
2. Word Building Mirrors English: Just like English, VoiceSign builds new words by combining base signs with affixes. For example, the suffix -ing can be added to the base sign read to create reading. This allows learners to master a small number of core signs and affixes, then combine them to form thousands of words naturally.
3. Voice and Sign Together: VoiceSign encourages users to speak while signing, which aligns with natural tendencies for hearing individuals. (Fun fact: if someone is talking while signing, they’re not using ASL.) Speaking while signing can also help individuals who have difficulty with speech develop word approximations and improve vocal expression.
VoiceSign is For Anyone
VoiceSign is for anyone who wants to express English with their hands. It was developed especially for hearing individuals who struggle with speech—offering a complete, expressive alternative to spoken language that mirrors the English one hears every day.
