Who is it for

Services for the Deaf & Hard-of-Hearing Community

Captions alone are not full access. For many Deaf people, American Sign Language (ASL) is their first language and written English is a second. Often, a signed translation carries meaning that text cannot.

This service reaches Deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences watching your training videos, public announcements, webinars, and on-demand content, and it serves organizations that need to demonstrate WCAG and ADA compliance for their media library.

How it works

What is Sign Language Video Translation?

If you have a pre-recorded video or audio file in any spoken language, we can add a sign language interpreter to your existing content making your media accessible for Deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences. Lets break it down:

  • Sign Language = A visual language used by Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals to communicate.
  • Translation = Converting text information from one language into another to maintain the original message.
  • Video = The format used to deliver the translation, aligning with the visual nature of sign language.

We can also create sign language video translations of written documents and forms, making important information easier to access and understand.
