SignLive

BSL/English interpreter on demand

I work with SignLive which was established in 2014 by Joel Kellhofer, a serial entrepreneur and active member of the British Deaf community.

Today, SignLive are proud to still be Deaf-owned and Deaf-led. They understand the needs of customers and exist to remove barriers to communication.

SignLive is available to improve the quality of life for all Deaf people by providing the highest quality interpreting and technology available.

I started working with SignLive in 2021, and it’s been an incredibly fulfilling experience. The core value of eliminating obstacles aligns perfectly with my own professional aspiration to ensure equality for the Deaf community.

Video Relay Service (VRS)

The UK has 150,000 British Sign Language (BSL) users, many are current or potential customers of yours. Enabling Deaf people to contact you via an interpreter makes your organisation more accessible and opens you up to an underserved segment of the population.

Setup is simple, just tell us which number you’d like customers to be able to call. When they ring via our Community Directory they’ll be connected to an interpreter who will relay the call to you. No extra steps necessary.
