Who We Are
A technology-driven social enterprise building inclusive communication for millions of Deaf people in Indonesia.
Setara is a technology-driven social enterprise developing an AI-powered translation platform for Indonesian Sign Language (BISINDO).
Our mission is to break down fundamental communication barriers in Indonesia through two main pillars: Setara API — a commercial B2B platform enabling businesses to integrate BISINDO translation, and Setara APP — a completely free mobile application for everyday communication.
Our Mission
Bridging the communication gap for millions of Deaf people in Indonesia through real-time, two-way AI BISINDO translation.
Free App
Setara APP is 100% free forever — featuring Understand (gesture-to-text) and Express (text-to-3D-avatar) modes.
Open Core Model
Revenue from commercial B2B API directly funds the social mission of keeping the app free for the Deaf community.

The app is already great and the system runs quite well. It's easy to use, not too complicated for first-time users, and the UI doesn't confuse people because it's simple. This app really helps me as someone who doesn't yet understand sign language and makes communicating with the Deaf easier 👍🔥
