Accessibility, Sign language, & Braille
Make your message accessible to everybody
Embrace universal design. Leave no-one behind.
Great communication is for everyone. At Geo Language Services, we can help make your content WCAG accessible, inclusive, and engaging for all audiences. We can add subtitles and audio descriptions to medical training videos, book British Sign Language interpreters for your appointment with a solicitor or offer Braille transcription for critical documents. With our team of linguists, interpreters, and accessibility specialists, we can help you reach anyone regardless of the language or format.
Find on-site or remote sign-language interpreters
Convert your documents to braille
Offer braille and large print options to your customers. Council tax notifications, employee contracts, marketing materials, or customer letters. We’ll transcribe the text, graphics and essential visuals, print the pages, and make sure it’s all formatted correctly.
Enhance your video content
Add subtitles, audio descriptions, picture-in-picture signers, and transcripts to your medical training videos, legal depositions, or technical webinars. We’ll help you create the pieces that make your content inclusive, while also providing advice and recommendations for fonts, colours, and positioning.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
How does the Braille workflow operate?
We translate or adapt the source content into the target language, apply Braille transcription using the appropriate grade and contraction rules for the language (Grade 1 or Grade 2 in English; equivalent rules in other languages), proof against the source, and deliver in the format you need — BRF, embossed hardcopy, refreshable Braille format, or combined Braille-and-print where dual access is required.
-
Can Geo Language Services make content WCAG accessible?
Yes. We produce content to WCAG 2.1 and 2.2 AA as standard, and to AAA where required. This covers text alternatives, accessible structure and semantics, language tagging, sufficient contrast, plain language principles, and accessibility-aware design for translated content. We also produce Easy Read versions, audio described video and BSL signed video as separate accessibility deliverables.
-
Does Geo Language Services offer sign language interpreting?
Yes. We provide sign language interpreting on request — British Sign Language (BSL), Irish Sign Language (ISL), American Sign Language (ASL) and other national sign languages — for on-site assignments, remote video appointments and broadcast or recorded content. Interpreters are assigned by subject expertise and assignment type.
-
How does Geo Language Services enhance video content for increased accessibility?
Through layered accessibility features: subtitles and closed captions, BSL or national sign language inset, audio description for visual content, transcripts for screen readers, language tagging and structured navigation. Each accessibility feature is a separate workstream we can provide individually or as a package, depending on what the content needs.
-
Are picture-in-picture signers available?
Yes. Picture-in-picture (PIP) sign language insets for video content — BSL, ASL or other national sign languages — can be particularly useful for public sector, healthcare and broadcast content. We handle interpreter sourcing, studio recording, video editing and final QA in a single workflow, and deliver in the format your platform requires.
