About Asher

We are building the first scalable ArSL accessibility layer for public services.

Asher is a pre-seed AI startup focused on one mission: making communication in public spaces genuinely accessible for Arabic Sign Language users. We build two-way translation infrastructure that helps institutions serve Deaf communities with speed, dignity, and consistency.

Focused on real deployment in airports, cafes, service desks, and institutions
Built around proprietary ArSL data and production-ready AI workflows
Developed in collaboration with Deaf communities and trusted partners

Our Progress

From prototype to pilot-ready platform.

Asher has moved beyond concept stage into a functional platform with measurable traction: 3,300+ recorded ArSL video samples, 22,500+ pose keypoint sequences, and 90%+ recognition accuracy in controlled testing. We are now focused on live pilot deployments and real-world validation.

Community and Ecosystem

Built with the community, not for the community.

We collaborate with the Jordanian Federation of the Deaf to improve linguistic accuracy, usability, and trust. Asher is also supported by Platvix Build Studios and Durham Venture Lab as we scale product and commercialization with discipline.
