Messaging App For Deaf People

2. We all do messaging, which is quick and easy way to stay in touch with your
friends. What about special friends who cannot listen?, people who are deaf.
‘Five’ App seems to fill this gap now. Five is a messaging app created especially for
deaf people and it’s created by a boy name Mateusz Mach.

Deafness or hearing loss is a big problem for deaf people, sign language helps to
bridge the gap between those who can hear and those who cannot. Sign language
is easy and very effective method to communicate, using a hand gesture and
symbols for those, who are hard of hearing, it is a way to interact with the world
around them. Sign language is interesting and easy to being able to communicate
with the hearing impaired or deaf people, it is growing in business around the
world. Many colleges and universities have developed degree programs in sign
language to fill this need.

3. Five started as a silly app, designed by Mach and developed by a bunch
of freelance coders, that lets you and your friends send one another
custom hand signs, like the kind rappers throw. Over the weekend, 18-
year-old Polish entrepreneur Mateusz Mach went to his high school’s
senior prom. Mach announced about his app and raised the equivalent
of about $150,000 in funding – no easy feat in Poland, where venture
capital cash can be hard to find even for seasoned entrepreneurs.

This app allows users to either choose an existing sign or create their
own using the app’s sign maker, which allows user to have ‘thousands of
different options and combinations.’ user can even sign your name if
you’d like too. The user can then select a friend to send the sign too. The
app is integrated with Facebook Messenger to allow user to send signs to
friends, that aren’t yet using the Five apps.
The current version is available for download on the Apple App Store and
Google Play Store. Mach plans to relaunch Five, in this summer, in the
USA (winter in South Africa).

4. According to Mach, “The world’s first messenger for deaf people, is
turning cash influx into Five is very useful for deaf people and the new,
improved Five is coming to the United States this summer, It will be a
proper company.”
Five apps initially was not intended for deaf people. When Five were first
released to the world in 2015, Mach was expecting people to use it on
their Apple Watches and phones as an easy, funny way of communicating
simple concepts. For instance, Mach and his friends used it to
communicate how far away they were, using a commonly-accepted
translation for each hand sign. But soon, deaf users started coming to
Mach, thanking him for making an app that actually lets them
communicate in International Sign Language (ISL).
And so, seeing opportunity, Mach hit the road, winning local startup
competitions and attracting some media interest as a promising young
entrepreneur. Once he had a little bit of buzz, he started hustling for
investment cash, which isn’t easy for a CEO when he is still in high school
and don’t have a network of contacts.

5. Through all of this, Mach plans to continue his studies even while serving as
CEO of Five. He’ll graduate from his International Baccalaureate high school
program this spring, and he plans on enrolling as an economics major at the
Abu Dhabi campus of New York University later this year. Juggling the
demands of entrepreneurship with a college education may be difficult, but
Mach says that he fully intends to finish out his degree, no matter what
precedents were set by the likes of Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates, who
never graduated college.
“My dream is to create software and electronics connecting the world of
fashion and tech, and inspire other young people to dream big.”
