Company description: Coda is developing a cloud-based AI platform for real-time translation of written and spoken language into sign language. Deaf and hard-of-hearing communities often struggle to access content with audio, such as video or podcasts. Coda integrates directly with live broadcasts and recorded media, producing sign-language translations through AI-driven avatars. Avatars can also be customized to reflect different ethnic and cultural characteristics.

Coda was part of the Israeli startup squad that participated in Calcalist's Mind the Tech London 2025 conference. Calcalist's "Dream Team" to London included early-stage startup companies in various fields. The startups joined the official delegation in its journey to London and took part in roundtable discussions at the event, presenting their companies to senior executives from the British and international tech industries.
