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.
