The AI British Sign Language logo with the words 'powered by Signapse'. There is a laptop underneath. The laptop screen says "join our webinar! Thursday 27th November 2025, 9:30 to 10:15 GMT". Yellow arrows point from the right edge of the laptop to three bubbles which outline what the webinar will cover. The first bubble says "Why can't English text replace BSL?". The second says "How does AI handle the complexities of BSL?". The last bubble says "What services are available if I want to add AI BSL to my resources and events?".

The AI British Sign Language logo, with the words "powered by Signapse". Underneath is the BSL fingerspelling alphabet, with 'M' for Monday highlighted. Text beneath the image says "Image adapted: British Deaf Association 2019". The background is white with a dark blue border featuring a subtle network pattern.

Planning a summer event? โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŽช

Here's how to improve it for BSL users:

๐Ÿ‘ Offer surfaces for drinks (hard to sign if hands are full!)

๐Ÿ’ก Avoid harsh/shadowy lighting (people need to see facial expressions)

๐ŸŽค Ensure your digital translator or interpreter, and captions are visible
