SIGNBRIDGE CAPTIONS · EARLY PROTOTYPE

BSL-friendly captions for screens with sound.

SignBridge Captions explores how spoken English, subtitles and public announcements can be rewritten into clearer, shorter, visually structured captions for BSL-first Deaf users.

PASTE TEXT OR SUBTITLES

Convert English into clearer BSL-informed captions.

This prototype restructures information into short visual chunks: topic, time, place, reason and action. The later product can add audio/video transcription, browser overlays and screen integrations.

Caption output

Your rewritten captions will appear here.

Topic firstPut the main subject before extra explanation.
One idea per lineReduce long English sentences into clear chunks.
Reason/action separatedShow what happened, why, and what the person should do.
Review requiredDeaf BSL reviewers must approve live-use rules and outputs.

Important: this is a BSL-informed text prototype, not full BSL translation. True BSL is visual and uses signing, facial expression, body movement and spatial grammar. A Deaf BSL reviewer should approve rules, examples and outputs before use in public services.
