«Με πονάει το κεφάλι από χθες.»My head has hurt since yesterday.spoken aloud
«Θα σας δώσω κάτι για τον πόνο.»I'll give you something for the pain.in signs
You sign. They speak.
Signs → Greek
Speech → Signs
Noima translates both ways. From Greek Sign Language to Greek text and speech, and from speech back to signs. On phones, tablets and computers.
A small group is testing it now. It isn't open to everyone yet.
Moments
Conversation flows, in every moment of the day.
For the small moments of the day, with family, friends and the people you meet. You sign and the other person reads Greek. They talk and you see signs.
How it works
One phone on the table, and the conversation starts.
-
Set it down
Put the phone or tablet between you, with the camera facing whoever is signing.
-
Sign
The way you always do, without pausing. Noima watches the hands, the body and the face, because that's where the meaning is.
-
Read it, hear it
What you say appears in Greek on the screen and is spoken aloud.
-
Answer by talking
The other person replies out loud. Their words appear on the screen in sign language, with subtitles.
When it isn't sure, it asks.
If Noima doesn't understand, it won't guess. It simply asks you to sign it again.
Features
What it does today, and what's next.
A small group is already testing Noima. Here's what it does now, and what we're building next.
In testing now
Our testers use these today.
-
Signs written live
Sign in front of the camera. Each sign appears on the screen a moment later, in large letters.
-
No pauses
Sign the way you always do. No need to lower your hands between sentences.
-
Video calls with subtitles
Call someone who doesn't sign. They see your signs as subtitles, can have them read aloud, and reply by typing.
-
In the browser, nothing to install
It opens in the browser on a computer, iPhone or iPad. Add it to your home screen and it works like an app.
-
See how a sign is made
Open the list of signs it knows. Tap one to see how it's made, slowed down if you like.
Coming next
Our next steps.
-
Full Greek sentences
Your signs will become proper Greek sentences, written on the screen and spoken aloud.
-
Speech to signs
The other person just talks. You see their words written, and in signs on the screen.
-
Reading the face too
In sign language, a question or a “no” often shows on the face. Noima is learning to read it.
-
An iPhone and iPad app
It will read signs even without an internet connection. Android comes later.
-
Cypriot Sign Language
We're starting with Greek Sign Language. Cypriot Sign Language comes next, with its own signs.
Who it's for
For you, and for the people who want to understand you.
For Deaf and hard of hearing people
Sign the way you always do, in your own language. The other person reads or hears your words in Greek.
For family and friends
For parents, children, grandparents and friends who don't sign yet, or are still learning. Speak normally and your words become signs.
For the people you meet every day
The doctor, the bank teller, the teacher, the driver. A phone on the table and the conversation keeps going.
Two languages
Greek Sign Language first. Cypriot next.
They're close relatives, but each has its own signs. So Noima learns Greek Sign Language well first, then Cypriot.
We start here
Greek Sign Language (GSL)
Equal in law to the Greek language since 2017.
Law 4488/2017
Comes next
Cypriot Sign Language (CSL)
Recognised by law in Cyprus since 2006.
Law 66(I)/2006
Privacy
Your signs are read on your device.
Noima reads them on your own phone or computer, and your video isn't sent to us. In a video call, it goes only to the person you call.
Interpreters
For the moments with no interpreter.
Sign language interpreters do work no app replaces. Noima is for the everyday moments when there's no interpreter around.
Coming soon
Noima, beyond the phone.
We want sign language to fit everywhere we read, write and talk.
Website pluginSoon
Noima for websites
A small plugin any website can add. Visitors see the page in sign language, and fill in forms or chat by signing.
AI assistant pluginSoon
Noima for AI assistants
Talk to the AI assistants you already use, in sign language. Get the answer back in sign language too.
Together
We want to build it with you.
If you sign, interpret, or work with the Deaf community, your view matters. Tell us what would make Noima useful for you day to day.

FAQ
What people ask most.
Can I download it now?
Not yet, but we're getting close. A small group is testing it now. Sign-ups for news open soon on this page.
Which devices will it work on?
The test version opens in the browser on a computer, iPhone or iPad. An iPhone and iPad app comes next, and Android later.
Does it replace interpreters?
No. It's for everyday moments when no interpreter is around. For important matters, like a court hearing or a serious medical decision, book an interpreter.
What if it doesn't understand me?
It asks you to sign it again instead of guessing. A “please repeat” is better than a wrong sentence.
Does it need the internet?
The test version in the browser needs a connection. The phone app will read signs without one.
Which languages does it understand?
It starts with Greek Sign Language and writes in Greek. Cypriot Sign Language comes next.
