ASL to text
One of our communication services is translation. This is helpful when you have documents that need to be translated from English to ASL.
ASL translation requires fluency in both ASL and the source language being translated, as well as knowledge of the cultural and linguistic nuances of both languages. Translating spoken or written content into ASL involves conveying the meaning, tone, and nuances of the original message using a combination of handshapes, facial expressions, body movements, and spatial references. ASL translation requires creativity, cultural sensitivity, and a deep understanding of both languages to accurately convey the intended message while preserving the natural flow and style of communication in ASL.
Our translation service typically translates English texts or spoken language into ASL. Translators work in a single direction while converting one language to another. Translators use various tools to check for quality and accuracy.
