About Singapore Sign

The Singapore Sign Language Sign Bank displays a collection of signs gathered from Deaf individuals in Singapore. It provides a searchable collection and a visual search that allows selection of the handshape of the dominant hand to search by how a sign looks.

The collection reflects signs already in use by the community and is not presented as an official dictionary. It does not determine correct or wrong signs, and it is described as an ongoing project that continues to grow as more community data is collected.
