About the Project
DataForce by TransPerfect is looking for
American Sign Language (ASL) and Black American Sign Language (BASL) signers
across the United States to participate in a paid remote research project.
The goal of this project is to help make technology more accessible for everyone and promote greater inclusion of Deaf and signing communities in the development of future technologies.
We believe that projects involving ASL, BASL, and the Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities should include meaningful representation from the communities themselves. Our project team includes Deaf and Hard of Hearing professionals who are directly involved in the administration and development of the project.
Their perspectives help us make informed decisions, advocate for the interests of the community, and ensure that accessibility, cultural considerations, and participant experience are represented throughout the project.
