Synchronous, in-vision, sign language translations on any webpage for any Deaf sign language user. Signly, a world-first, enables Lloyds Bank and Microsoft to go beyond compliance and welcome and include deaf people who use sign language (SL). Organizations with a passion for proactive inclusion know there’s a moral imperative to look after all users. Signly is an easy way for organizations to do that and ensure deaf people are not disadvantaged or discriminated against. Just because it’s written, doesn't mean it's understood by Deaf users. People who are late-deafened will understand English – but English is not always a deaf person’s primary language. SL is their first and preferred language, and English is a second. Some users have Lower English Proficiency (LEP). Impact Deaf users self-serve independently Sign language users have more equal access Engage with content in their first language for free Less reliant on friends, family and interpreters Mainstream access to sign language at source – not as an afterthought or after the event Increased awareness amongst the Deaf community about CV19 and other essential information; better compliance with guidance Interpreters freed up for other important assignments like attending medical appointments Organizations role model inclusion in action
