Sign language interpretation for virtual and hybrid meetings involves the use of sign language interpreters to facilitate communication between deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals and those who communicate using spoken language. As virtual meetings become more prevalent, ensuring accessibility for all participants is crucial.
Sign language interpreters play a vital role in bridging the communication gap between deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals and speakers of spoken language. They interpret spoken language into sign language and vice versa, allowing participants to understand and participate in the virtual meeting.
Virtual meetings can take place on various platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, MeetView, etc. Sign language interpreters need to be familiar with the chosen platform and its features to provide effective interpretation.
American Sign Language (ASL) is used by many deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals in the United States and parts of Canada
Langue des signes québécoise (LSQ) is the term for Quebec Sign Language. LSQ is used by the deaf community in the province of Quebec, Canada
