Signly by Signly

Wouldn’t it be great if you could get a British Sign Language (BSL) translation of a webpage?

That’s what Signly does.

Signly browser extension displays a sign language translation of Lloyds Bank website. We hope other organisations will adopt this assistive technology.

The signing is pre-recorded, broadcast-quality, signed by qualified sign language translators.

If a signed version of a specific page is not already available, users can then select ‘Request Signed Content'.

WHAT IS SIGNLY BROWSER EXTENSION?
An extension adds features to web browsers on desktop computers and laptops. The Signly extension adds pre-recorded sign language to companies’ websites who have turned on the service. If no sign language is available on a page, users can request it.
