Frequently Asked Questions

Key Considerations for Sign Language Accessibility

Why are text captions not enough for Deaf accessibility?

For many pre-lingually Deaf individuals, sign language (such as ASL, BSL, LSC or LIBRAS) is their native first language, while written text represents a second language with an entirely different syntax and grammatical structure. Sign language overlays convey tone, spatial relationships, emotion, and nuance that closed captions cannot deliver.

What is sign language accessibility in digital environments?

Sign language accessibility means integrating natural human sign language translation and interpreting alongside web content, multimedia video, webinars, and virtual meetings, allowing Deaf individuals to access information in their primary language.

How does Acceasy implement sign language on existing websites?

Acceasy Web injects a lightweight, non-intrusive overlay layer via a single JavaScript snippet. When activated by the user, high-definition human sign language translation appears synchronized with the webpage content without altering backend code or underlying layout design.

What sign languages does Acceasy support?

Every Acceasy tool works with any sign language: the overlays and the meeting platform display human interpreters and are not tied to a fixed list of languages. U-I-X records translations in-house in American Sign Language (ASL, in partnership with Visual Voice Media), British Sign Language (BSL), Lengua de Señas Colombiana (LSC), Língua Brasileira de Sinais (LIBRAS) and International Sign (IS), and organizations that already work with interpreters in another sign language can use them with Acceasy Web, Player, Live, Dive and Meet.

Does sign language help with WCAG AAA compliance?

Yes. WCAG 2.1 & 2.2 Success Criterion 1.2.6 (Sign Language - Prerecorded, Level AAA) specifically mandates sign language interpreting for all prerecorded audio content in synchronized media.
