Greater London Enterprise Awards 2024

A Legacy of Impact Founded in 2017, InSignLanguage Ltd has become a beacon of change for Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals. The company’s comprehensive suite of services — ranging from Video Relay Services (VRS) to Deaf Awareness Courses, Face-to-Face interpreters, and Deaf Advocacy — has significantly contributed to the community it proudly serves. From InSignDoc to InSignTravel and InSignFeedback, InSignLanguage provides a seamless approach to sending bulk messages, navigating complex spaces, and fostering engagement in ways that are universally accessible. These services have led to numerous success stories, particularly in employment. Founder Liz Hood shares, “We have supported many Deaf clients in becoming self-employed PCO-licensed (Public Carriage Officer) drivers, enabling them to run their own taxi businesses. Additionally, we have successfully placed numerous other Deaf candidates in various employment roles.” In recent years, InSignLanguage has taken a significant leap forward with the development of its own AI-driven 3D avatar, which translates messages into BSL. This innovation offers a smooth communication solution, eliminating many of the barriers previously faced by the Deaf community. “With the launch of our AI technology, we are significantly advancing accessibility. Our business has evolved to integrate additional features that ensure comprehensive access for all,” Liz adds. Built on Compassion InSignLanguage’s commitment to the Deaf community is evident in every business decision. With a foundation rooted in compassion, the company prioritizes innovation, inclusivity, and ethical responsibility. Its mission is clear: to provide the right support for a diverse range of individuals, a goal reflected in the unwavering dedication of the InSignLanguage team. Liz explains, “When recruiting new staff, we seek individuals who are passionate about accessibility, possess strong skills, and align with our core values. We actively involve the Deaf community in our recruitment process, emphasizing the importance of Deaf advocacy. With seven years of experience in ‘Deaf on Deaf’ support, we know that our Deaf staff and clients communicate effectively, fostering inclusivity. Additionally, our in-house interpreters ensure seamless communication between Deaf staff, clients, and the hearing world, which strengthens our team’s capabilities and reinforces our brand as a leader in ethical and innovative accessibility solutions.” A Vision for the Future “We believe in making information accessible to everyone without imposing additional costs on the Deaf community. This commitment to accessibility and fairness drives every decision we make, pushing us to continually improve and expand our offerings to better serve our clients,” says Liz. Starting in the vibrant city of London, InSignLanguage built strong connections with Deaf clients, corporations, and interpreters. Now, as a fully remote company, it is poised to deliver services to anyone, anywhere. This expansion is particularly exciting as the company plans to broaden its services to include more types of sign language, making the future very bright indeed. As the accessibility technology industry evolves, InSignLanguage remains at the heart of accessibility for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. Its real-time translation services stand as a testament to the company’s dedication to improving lives across London and beyond.
