Why the Name Change?

Some users have been asking about What’s the Sign new name, so let us explain the story behind this evolution.

You might not know this, but What’s the Sign? Dictionary was originally part of the TRUE+WAY ASL textbook. The dictionary became so popular that the team created a standalone app so more people could learn ASL with it. The standalone dictionary app was named What’s the Sign? Dictionary.

Over time, people have naturally started referring to TRUE+WAY ASL as “TWA.” Teachers tell their students to “check TWA for that sign,” and learners say “I found it on TWA.” This popular shorthand has been adopted for all its educational resources, bringing the textbook and dictionary together under one clear, simple name: TWA Textbook and Dictionary!
