Ever wondered what it's like to read lips? 👄
For many, it's a daily lifeline in an auditory world.

This vid (old but gold!) shows the challenges of lip-reading. It's a powerful reminder of why sign languages remain essential for accessible communication.

Accessibility drives reach and impact:

80% of consumers are more likely to buy from a company with an accessible website

71% of people with disabilities abandon a site that's not accessible

What difference could accessibility make to them, and you?

How much do you know about supporting sign language users?

Accessibility isn’t an add-on, it’s a mindset 🧠

Our upcoming webinar will improve your Deaf Awareness, and show you how our tool removes barriers for BSL & ASL users.

Planning a summer event? ☀️🎪

Here's how to improve it for BSL users:

👐 Offer surfaces for drinks (hard to sign if hands are full!)

💡 Avoid harsh/shadowy lighting (people need to see facial expressions)

🎤 Ensure your digital translator or interpreter, and captions are visible
