Company profile

researched Sep 2026

SLAIT School operates an online educational platform for learning American Sign Language (ASL). The product combines video lessons, quizzes, memory games and interactive tests with a computer-vision-based "AI tutor" that watches a learner sign and returns immediate feedback on whether the sign was produced correctly. Its Live Signing feature lets users practise individual signs and receive confirmation when the correct sign is shown, with tests that can be repeated without time limits.

The curriculum is aimed at learners at different levels, from beginners learning fundamentals to more advanced signers, and covers vocabulary and grammar as well as related cultural material. Access is available at any time through the web, allowing self-paced study. The company also describes a route for certified ASL teachers to apply to teach on the platform.

The company is based in Barcelona, Spain, and is tagged in startup directories under AI, EdTech, sign language, machine learning and computer vision.

Business model

Freemium consumer subscription: users register for a free account with a limited selection of lessons and features, and can upgrade to a premium plan for the full curriculum. Certified ASL teachers can also apply to teach on the platform for additional income.

Subscription revenue from premium monthly and annual plans that unlock the complete curriculum and all features; a free tier provides limited access. Public listings give differing accounts of pricing, including references to free courses and to contact-for-pricing.
