As Deaf people themselves, Deaf Interpreters have an instinctual linguistic, cultural and social understanding of their own community. They are able to provide a highly precise translation, fully utilising features unique to Singapore Sign Language, allowing them to cater for a diverse group.
At Equal Dreams, we currently deploy Deaf Interpreters for filmed interpretation on pre-recorded videos.
Deaf Interpreters are also a best practice for Deaf access in other settings, such as:
- Stage interpreting
- Televised news broadcasts
- Medicine (e.g. hospital visits)
- Education (e.g. as Deaf teachers)
- Law (e.g. in the courtroom)
