What they do

Glovatrix makes a device that translates sign language into speech or text in real time

The company has received grants totalling ₹1.7 crore to develop its technology

Its Fifth Sense device and Mira AI avatar enable two-way communication for deaf individuals

Glovatrix has developed the Fifth Sense device, which captures hand and finger movements.
The device uses AI to interpret sign language and generate speech or text in real time.
The company also created Mira AI, an avatar that translates spoken responses back into sign language.
This enables two-way communication between deaf and hearing individuals without a third-party interpreter.
Target use cases include healthcare (patients explaining symptoms to doctors) and workplaces (interviews and collaboration).
The company has received grants totalling ₹1.7 crore to support its work.

Deaf individuals often rely on third-party interpreters for medical, job, and financial conversations.
Fifth Sense allows direct, private communication without needing an interpreter.
The company's long-term vision is to integrate accessibility into classrooms, workplaces, and healthcare systems.
Glovatrix aims to position India as a leader in inclusive AI.
