Elevating Accessibility: STQRY Partners with Signapse for AI-Powered ASL Translation

Accessible digital content is a core pillar of our mission: connecting people, places, and stories. To properly empower institutions with innovative digital solutions that enhance visitor experiences, we’re committed to offering content that’s accessible to everyone.

In line with this commitment, we are thrilled to announce our groundbreaking partnership with Signapse, a pioneer in AI-powered American Sign Language (ASL) translation. This incredible technology adds a new dimension to digital accessibility, helping our clients optimize their experience for deaf and hard-of-hearing communities.

Bridging the Accessibility Gap

No-code technology is helping museums, galleries, libraries, and parks, transform their visitor experiences through technology. Recognizing the growing demand for accessible content, particularly for deaf and hard-of-hearing visitors, we found an ideal partner in Signapse. Their revolutionary software translates written text into sign language, offering a seamless, cost-effective solution for high-quality translation at scale. This collaboration will create a more inclusive digital environment for all visitors, regardless of their hearing ability.

Transforming Communication with Signapse

Signapse's technology is a game-changer for organizations looking to expand their reach within the Deaf community. By translating written materials into ASL video content, Signapse enables us to cater to individuals who may not fully benefit from written languages or auditory guides. This partnership allows STQRY clients to integrate ASL translation into their digital offerings, including apps and visitor labels, thus enhancing the accessibility and comprehensiveness of their information.

Tailored Translation Services

Understanding the diverse needs of our clients, Signapse offers flexible translation services that can be customized to fit various requirements. Whether clients opt for a picture-in-picture format, where a signer is overlayed onto existing video content, or a standalone video featuring an ASL interpreter against a chosen background, Signapse accommodates. Additionally, subtitles can be included to further ensure the content is accessible to all audience segments. This tailored approach guarantees that every piece of digital content can be adapted to meet the unique needs of each client, ensuring no visitor is left behind.

Streamlined Process for Enhanced Accessibility

Our partnership with Signapse is designed to be as straightforward and efficient as possible. From the initial video translation request to the final delivery, we've established a process that ensures ease and clarity for our clients. Once a project is scoped, preferences regarding signer position, logos, and other details are collected and passed along to Signapse. Their team then embarks on the translation, adhering to strict quality assurance protocols to guarantee accuracy and authenticity. The final product is a professionally translated ASL video, edited to align with client specifications and ready to enhance the visitor experience.

Empowering Clients and Visitors Alike

The collaboration is more than a service—it's a commitment to making the world more accessible. By enabling our clients to offer ASL translation of their content, we're helping to create more inclusive spaces where information is available to everyone, regardless of their hearing abilities. This not only enriches the visitor experience for Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals but also empowers organizations to embrace diversity and inclusivity in their offerings.

The partnership with Signapse represents a pivotal moment in the push towards universal accessibility. By leveraging AI-powered technology to provide ASL translation, we're not only enhancing the digital offerings of our clients but also ensuring that deaf and hard-of-hearing visitors have equal access to information. This collaboration is a testament to our belief that technology can and should be used to break down barriers, fostering a more inclusive and understanding world.

As we move forward, we're excited to see the positive impact this partnership will have on the communities we serve. Together, we’re committed to creating digital environments where everyone, regardless of their hearing ability, can fully engage and participate. This is just the beginning of our journey towards a more accessible future, and we're proud to partner with Signapse to lead the way.
