Why Add BSL to your Videos?
British Sign Language interpreters online and on television help to make video content accessible to users of BSL. At some point we’ve all seen those T.V shows where the BSL interpreter appears at the bottom of the screen to help viewers read the audio. We have also seen closed captions appear at the bottom of the screen to help deaf or hard of hearing viewers make sense of the video they are watching. But what would be the benefit of adding BSL interpreting services instead? BSL video subtitling opens up opportunities for more people to learn sign language (hearing or otherwise), potentially breaking down barriers. It also improves communication on a wider scale for the deaf community as a whole.

With experience in closed captioning for the deaf and hard of hearing, we’re totally pro BSL Video Subtitling for the following reasons:
- The ultimate goal of subtitles (regardless of language) is inclusion and accessibility, both of which have an impact on the deaf community on an everyday basis;
- BSL Subtitles can help deaf, hard of hearing and hearing viewers to learn BSL;
- More inclusion steers BSL away from being perceived as ‘elitist’, ultimately broadening its reach;
- Subtitles promote equality, making video content more accessible to all viewers regardless of nationality and signing ability;
- Important messages within BSL video content (especially those relating to the deaf community) can be more effectively publicised using captions.
