JAKARTA - Snapchat added a unique filter that also contains educational content because from here users can learn hand sign language.

This filter can be seen in the Lens tool and is named "ASL (American Sign Language) Alphabet".

Of course, this is good news, especially for the deaf community and communities with hearing impairments because more and more people are learning sign language and making communication easier for these communities.

"Led entirely by members of the Deaf and Deaf team at Snap called 'Deafengers', ASL Alphabet Lens teaches you to spell your name with your fingers, practice the ASL Alphabet and play games that test new skills. It's built using innovative hand tracking technology who supported Lens last year in honor of the International Week of the Deaf," Snapchat said discussing the presence of the new lens feature in its blog post on Sunday as quoted by Antara.

Both iOS and Android users can easily search for the filter as it is available on both operating systems.

There are various modes of the sign language filter, ranging from learning mode, remembering mode, and other modes.

Users will see the filters to learn sign language and can follow the instructions displayed on the screen.

Of course, this method makes learning basic sign language fun and easy.

"We believe AR can help improve the way we communicate. We look forward to learning more from the community as we strive to continuously improve the experience for everyone on Snapchat," concluded Snapchat.
