For the duration, you understand the literal meaning of any language that you hear or see signed. You also understand any written language that you see, but you must be touching the surface on which the words are written. It takes about 1 minute to read one page of text. This spell doesn’t decode symbols or secret messages.

We just used sign language in the game we're playing to speak between ships that were too far away for voices. In fact, that's why we gave the characters sign language.

Hmmm, do you think you can see sign language further away than you can scream?

If you're willing to make big movements and use simple signs (like GO, WHAT, ME, YOU, WANT), then yes. The problem is more complex signs require you to see each other's fingers, so I'm not quite sure if it can be understood at longer distances then screaming
