Take part in an exciting research study to help design a two-way translation app between BSL and spoken English

Are you Deaf or Hard of Hearing? The University of the West of Scotland (UWS) in collaboration with Gestura Technologies Ltd. invite you to participate in a user needs analysis study for developing the user experience of a British Sign Language (BSL) translation application.

Why take part?

  • Share your experiences about communication
  • Influence the design of a future BSL translation app
  • Help create inclusive technology that reflects the lived realities of Deaf BSL users.

What’s involved?

A 60–90 minute interview with the researcher to discuss your thoughts on design features and communication needs. Your input will directly shape the app’s development.

£30 Gift Voucher for Participants
Each participant who completes the 60–90 minute interview will receive a £30 Amazon gift voucher. This is a gesture of appreciation for your time and lived experience.

To register your interest in this project, please complete this form.
