Revolutionising Deaf Accessibility: Transform Your Website with Sign Language Translation
Signapse
Boosting Digital Accessibility for Deaf Users with Sign Language Translation
In a world where digital communication is paramount, accessibility remains a challenge for many Deaf individuals. Despite the availability of written content, the nuances of sign language are often lost, leaving a significant portion of the population at a disadvantage. Recognizing this gap, Google.org has awarded a $1.5 million grant to the University of Surrey to develop an AI-powered sign language translation tool in collaboration with Signapse.
The Power of Sign Language Translation
Our innovative plugin overlay translates website content into sign language (ASL or BSL), providing a much-needed solution for Deaf users who rely on sign language as their primary mode of communication. This tool not only enhances the accessibility of websites but also fosters inclusivity and equal access to information.
Why This Matters
Of the 7 million profoundly Deaf people worldwide, 80% struggle with written languages because learning to read a language they cannot hear is exceptionally challenging. By translating digital content into sign language, we can bridge this communication gap and empower Deaf users to engage fully with online resources.
How It Works
The plugin acts as an overlay on your website, translating paragraphs into sign language videos that are easy to understand. This ensures that Deaf users can navigate and comprehend your content without barriers. The tool is designed for simple integration and is offered at no cost for up to 10 web pages, thanks to the grant from Google.org.
Who Can Benefit?
This tool is ideal for non-profit organisations, social enterprises, and schools based in the USA or UK. Whether your focus is solely on the Deaf community or you aim to include them in your audience, our translation tool can help you achieve greater accessibility.
Join the Movement
We invite eligible organisations to participate in this transformative program. By adopting our sign language translation tool, you'll not only enhance your website's accessibility but also contribute to a more inclusive digital landscape.
