About
Ellie is a deaf baby elephant who signs with her trunk. Give her any word and she'll fingerspell it for you — one letter at a time, with big, friendly captions. Choose your manual alphabet: ASL, Libras, or BSL (her sister Tunk helps with BSL's two hands). Ellie is a free widget that lives at ellie.mrbray.com and embeds on any website with one line of code. No audio, no account — just a joyful deaf character putting herself at the heart of the story.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
