Say Hello to Our New and Improved British Sign Language (BSL) Digital Signers
Our BSL Digital Signers have a new look.
We’ve been listening, and now we’re delivering. Based on the feedback from our users, we’re thrilled to announce a significant update to our British Sign Language (BSL) Digital Signers, Rae and Mars.
Same trusted technology, same familiar faces, but with a fresh, enhanced look designed to make sign language translation clearer and more effective than ever before.
What’s New
If you’ve already spotted the upgraded appearance through our American Sign Language (ASL) Digital Signers, Jay and Max, you’ll know that something exciting was on the horizon for BSL users. That moment is now here.
Rae and Mars have been given a comprehensive visual refresh, built entirely around what matters most: clarity and accessibility. Driven directly by the feedback of our user community, this update focuses on the details that make the biggest difference to sign language users every day.
You’ll notice sharper, more precise fingerspelling, making it easier than ever to follow complex words and names. Facial expressions, a critical component of BSL, are now more defined and natural, ensuring that the full meaning and nuance of every translation is conveyed. Combined with higher definition visuals and smoother transitions between signs, the overall experience is noticeably more fluid and easier to follow.
But it’s not just about clarity. Rae and Mars now each bring a more distinct and individual signing style to the table. This means you can choose the Digital Signer whose style best complements your content and tone of voice, whether that’s a customer service message, a corporate announcement or a public-facing video. It’s personalisation that puts you in control.
What You Can Expect
The best part? You don’t need to do anything to access these improvements. The updated Rae and Mars are available right now across all our full suite of products. Whether you use SignStudio, SignStream, our Web Plug-in or all of our solutions, you can experience the benefits of this enhanced look in just a few simple clicks, no complicated set-up or disruption to your existing workflow.
