Frequently Asked Questions

Where do passengers see these announcements? Are screens required? Is a mobile app available?

Passengers will see announcements on FIDS/GIDS Screens (Airport Screens), Wi-Fi Captive portal, browser page within Airport/Airline app, or anything that supports a browser; there is no need for any special software, user registration, or personal details. Passengers can even load from a QR code or URL.

Does TransportSign support live paging announcements, and how quickly can passengers see the announcements?

TransportSign does live paging and translations appear visually within 3-4 seconds of the original announcement, like they would with any human interpreter/translator.

Which languages can the announcement be translated into?

30+ Languages, including Spanish, German, French, Turkish, and American Sign Language and International Sign Language, with options to roll out regional Sign Languages, including LSQ and Libras

Why do we need Sign Language when Deaf people can just read?

Since sign language is the first language for most Deaf individuals, written text can be particularly difficult to comprehend without hearing the associated sounds.

There are 466M people in the world with hearing loss, but TransportSign isn't just for Deaf passengers but also for international travelers or people in noisy terminals. Additionally, the sign language avatar is so noticeable that all passengers see you're doing something special.

How fast can this be implemented at our airport?

The typical workflow is about ~6 weeks. SignAvatar works as a software layer on top of the PA software that receives audio feeds from any PA system through standard audio interfaces. No modifications to your current PA hardware are required.
