中文摘要
Signmatters是一个应用程序,可以安全地将聋人和听力受损社区与英国手语(BSL)翻译联系起来。我们的目标是破坏目前由政府主导的昂贵且功能失调的服务。通过我们改变游戏规则的创新,我们渴望成为聋人和重听社区的领先应用程序。我们的愿景是扩大到其他特殊需要部门,包括帮助任何有残疾或长期健康问题的人与社区支助工作者和就业计划建立联系。扩展将是将其中一种或所有这些特殊需要提升到全球水平。还有可能将这项服务推广到整个语言服务支持系统。这个简单的目标会产生巨大的社会影响——我们将其描述为“口译员的优步”
英文摘要
Signmatters is an app that will safely connect the deaf and hearing impaired community to British Sign Language (BSL) interpreters. We aim to disrupt the current administration led services that are costly and dysfunctional. Through our game-changing innovation we aspire to be the leading app for the deaf and hard of hearing community. Our vision is to expand to other special needs sectors including assisting anyone with a disability or long-term health condition to connect to community support workers and the Access to Work scheme. Expansion will be to take either or all of these special needs to the global level. There is also the potential to roll out the service to cover the entire language services support systemThe simple aim has a huge social impact - we describe it as _"Uber for interpreters"._
