CirrusTranslate turns documents and videos into high-quality sign language translations within days

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla.: Cirrus, a leading sign language accessibility firm offering education-focused interpreting, today announced the launch of CirrusTranslate, a revolutionary new platform that brings written and spoken language to life for the Deaf and hard of hearing community through high-quality American Sign Language (ASL) translation. An ASL translation of this press release is available here.

Cirrus’ dynamic translators help companies, schools, government agencies and non-profits connect with the Deaf community by delivering inclusive, ADA-compliant communication that deepens understanding, builds trust and expresses emotion. CirrusTranslate makes translation simple and efficient.

Users upload their content and the platform delivers video translations in multiple formats. These AI-assisted, human-delivered translations could provide equal access to information for the almost 7 million sign language users across the U.S. and the 70 million users worldwide.

"CirrusTranslate is the first U.S. platform to offer this level of scale, quality and simplicity in ASL translation,” said Christian Fillman, chief executive officer at Cirrus. "We created this service to bridge the gap between intention and impact, helping organizations understand and properly serve the Deaf community by providing translations that convey the true meaning of the content.”

Sign language is the preferred language for many Deaf individuals as traditional written language or closed captions often miss the nuance that sign language conveys. For example, medical institutions can now reliably and affordably deliver pre‑operative instructions in ASL, while schools can make lessons and standardized tests fully accessible to Deaf students in their native language.

This service empowers organizations to make their content accessible, allowing them to reach Deaf audiences in a clear, respectful and visually engaging way.

How CirrusTranslate Works

“Our mission is to ensure that Deaf and hard of hearing individuals have access to communication that is not only accurate, but also respectful of their language and culture,” said Rhett Youngberg, chief technology officer at Cirrus. “In a world where technology often threatens to replace human touch, we are committed to keeping humans at the heart of sign language translation.”
