Introducing Our ASL Sign Language Translator: Built to Help You Scale Your Accessibility Efforts

Communication should never be limited by language or accessibility. Yet for millions of Deaf individuals, much of the digital world still relies heavily on written or spoken communication. While subtitles help, they aren’t always the most natural or accessible way for normative American Sign Language (ASL) users to receive information.

Today, we’re excited to launch our ASL translator which converts your content into clear and accurate ASL video translations. But, our mission isn’t just to provide a service. We want to ensure you have the tools you need to provide accessible content as your business grows.

Whether you work in the Transport, Entertainment, Education or Public Service sectors, our ASL AI Translator is built to help you communicate more effectively with the Deaf community.

The Accessibility Gap in Digital Communication

Accessibility has come a long way in recent years. Many websites now include captions, transcripts, and accessibility tools. But for many Deaf individuals, these text-based solutions aren’t the most intuitive ways to receive information.

That’s because ASL is its own language, with unique grammar, sentence structures and expressions that differ significantly from English.

This creates a common problem:

• Important information is shared only in written English or through audio means
• Video content may include captions but no sign interpretation
• Organisations struggle to provide ASL interpreters for every piece of content

The result? A communication gap that leaves many Deaf users behind online.

We believe AI sign language translation is the solution.

Our Solution: An ASL Sign Language Translator that Scales with You

We have made strides in our AI sign language technology. Initially built for British Sign Language (BSL), our technology has enabled us to create Digital Signers that display accurate signed translations.

Now, we are launching an ASL version of our AI, bringing accessibility to a wider audience.

Incorporated into all of our products, including SignStudio, SignStream and Transport, our AI ASL translates English content into a high-quality ASL video, ready to be shared with your audience.

No scheduling ASL interpreters.

No complicated workflow.

Just instant ASL accessibility.

Our mission is simple: make sign language translation scalable, affordable and available to everyone.

Why We Built It

Signapse was formed to make the world more accessible with sign language technology. We have seen the incredible impact of our products in the UK with BSL translations across transport, media and events.

But, we don’t want to stop there.

ASL is one of the most used sign languages in the world. However, the resources needed to provide sign language support cannot keep up with the demand. This leads to many people being left out of the conversation, whether that be through everyday interactions like on public transport, not being able to access marketing material or missing crucial information at a live event.

Traditional ASL translators also often require:

• Scheduling certified interpreters
• Filming and editing videos
• High production costs
• Long turnaround times

These barriers mean ASL accessible content often becomes an afterthought, or never happens at all.

Our AI ASL was built to remove those barriers and make ASL translation as easy as adding subtitles.

Key Features

AI-Powered American Sign Language Translation

We have developed sophisticated AI technology that provides faster and more scalable sign language translation. Built in collaboration with ASL users, our AI ASL generates translations that are accurate, clear and culturally appropriate.

Dedicated Digital Signers

We have created two dedicated ASL AI Digital Signers ahead of this launch. With Jay and Max, you will be able to bring your content to life through clear and accurate ASL video translations. You can also choose the appearance that matches your brand by selecting your desired Digital Signer during the video customisation stage.

Central and Controlled

Our Signapse Platform ensures you get the most out of our technology. Whether you prefer SignStudio for post-production content or SignStream for live translations, we offer a centralised platform so you can oversee all aspects of your translated content.

Easy to Integrate

We believe effective accessibility only comes with a strong foundation. Our products can be easily integrated into your current workflow and systems, removing the hurdles of finding online ASL interpreters, ensuring a streamlined process.

Customisable to Your Brand

Unlike traditional ASL translation services, we provide customisation options so there is no disconnect between your accessibility efforts and content. From your brand logo to colours and even a Digital Signer, you can personalise your sign language translation video to meet your business needs.

Built to Support Interpreters, Not to Replace Them

We understand the importance of ASL interpreters. Our AI ASL is not here to replace them. We simply aim to make the workload smaller by making everyday interactions more accessible for all.

We believe ASL interpreters are still crucial in high-stakes sectors such as Legal and Medical instances.

A Step Towards Greater Digital Inclusion

Accessibility isn’t just a checkbox. It’s a commitment to making information available to everyone.

Subtitles and transcripts have helped improve access to digital content, but language accessibility is the next frontier.

By making ASL translation available in a faster and more scalable way, we aim to help organisations close that gap.

We believe the future of digital content should include visual language accessibility by default, not as an afterthought.

FAQs

What is an ASL translator?

Our AI ASL translator converts your content into ASL videos as displayed by our Digital Signers. We take the English from your content, create subtitles, translate to American Sign Language and generate translation videos in a few simple clicks.

How is AI ASL different from American Sign Language services?

We utilise AI to speed up the translation process. You no longer need to schedule an ASL interpreter, find time to film videos or pay for expensive services all while watching your backlog of content grow.

Instead, you can simply upload your post-production content onto our platform for quick and easy translation or integrate our Digital Signers to translate your live event in real-time.

Where are ASL translators needed?

ASL interpreters are a lifeline to many in all aspects of life. From everyday interactions such as using public transport to watching videos online and attending live events, ASL interpreters are crucial in numerous settings. Signapse can provide ASL AI translation in low-stakes situations such as marketing, daily business operations and announcements.
