Video content is getting more accessible, thanks to a new partnership between Signapse and CaptionHub. CaptionHub’s latest integration will deploy market leading technology from sign language AI company, Signapse, for its global enterprise clients.

CaptionHub will offer video content that alongside its captions can automatically be accompanied by an in-video British Sign Language (BSL) or American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter, improving the experience for Deaf viewers and marking a significant milestone in accessible tech.

Tom Bridges, CEO of CaptionHub, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership: “We are thrilled to join forces with Signapse to bring AI-based sign language capabilities to our platform. This collaboration aligns perfectly with our mission to make video content localised and accessible for our clients. By incorporating Signapse’s innovative technology, we’re not just adding a feature; we’re opening up content to millions of people who wouldn’t previously have had access but also making this step easy for our enterprise client base.”

Will Berry, CRO of Signapse, added: “Many Deaf people struggle with text – 87,000 people in the UK use British Sign Language (BSL) as their first language. By seamlessly integrating our sign language translation with existing CaptionHub features, we are opening up more video content for the Deaf community. This partnership represents a significant leap forward in bridging the communication gap and ensuring that everyone can enjoy and benefit from video content equally.”
