One thing I’ve come to believe while building @talksignco is that accessibility shouldn’t stop at helping someone receive information.
It should help them participate in the conversation.
I wrote about this and where accessibility needs to go next: talksign.co/blog/why-caption…
This Deaf Awareness Month, one question is worth sitting with: Are captions enough?
Captions are important, but they don’t always provide the same experience as direct communication.

We’re working toward real-time, bidirectional communication between speech and sign language across smart glasses, mobile, desktop, and third-party applications.
The Talksign Marketplace is also helping us build the data layer needed to make this possible at scale.

@talksignco built a marketplace where Deaf communities and signers contribute recorded video data and get paid for it directly. That raw video is then processed into usable training data by fluent signers, not outsourced to people who don't know the language.

430 million people experience disabling hearing loss. They communicate through 200 to 300 documented sign languages. Almost none of those languages exist inside the AI systems being built right now.
@edidiongmekong decided to fix that.

Why did we build Talksign Marketplace?
Building our foundational sign language models Palm and Echo showed us just how hard it is to access quality sign language data.
Here’s the story behind it - talksign.co/blog/introducing…

This is such a great spotlight on the work happening at Talksign.
Thank you, @thecondia, for featuring us and helping bring more attention to what we’re building with Talksign Marketplace🚀
Talksign @talksignco has launched a marketplace letting Deaf communities license and sell sign language datasets, tackling AI's biggest accessibility data gap.

Great piece by @thecondia on the work we’re doing with Talksign Marketplace. 🙌🏽
We’re excited to build a marketplace that creates new opportunities for Deaf communities while helping make sign language data more accessible for the next generation of AI.

We believe communication should be accessible to everyone, and that high quality, representative sign language data is the foundation for building more capable and accessible products.

And yes, we added a verificaion layer. Every dataset listed on the Marketplace can be checked through our verification portal at verify.talksign.co.
A buyer, a contributor, or an outside researcher can confirm what a dataset actually is before anyone builds on it.

And this is exactly what we are building at @talksignco is more than important.
We are building real-time, two-way communication so a Deaf person can sign and be understood, while a hearing person can speak and have their words translated into sign.
