Hi everyone,

I am currently looking for someone who knows American Sign Language (ASL) and would be willing to help with my bachelor’s thesis.

As part of my research, I am investigating whether the translation tool Rylo (https://rylo.com/sign/translate/) can preserve humour when translating written English wordplay into ASL. For this, I have a small set of short (15-60 sec) ASL videos generated by the tool. Participants would be asked to watch the videos and answer five short questions per video about the translation, mainly focusing on whether the humour and meaning are preserved.

You do not have to review all videos; any amount of help would already be very valuable.

If you know ASL, or if you know someone who might be interested in helping, please feel free to contact me via here or on [email protected]

Thank you in advance!

      Hi everyone! I'm a hearing husband with a deaf wife, and I'm a retired electrician and safety instructor. I know some sign language, but I'm hoping this site will help me improve my skills and support others in our local fire department. Although there aren't many deaf people in my community, I have many deaf friends from different places. We always have a great time together, and they're wonderfully patient while teaching me new signs! I'm excited to be here, learn more, and connect with everyone. Looking forward to being part of the community! geometry dash

      Hello

      My name is Leah and I started learning ASL to help people communicate where there are language barriers. For instance: I just started volunteering at a nature center and I hope that one day I'll be able to help someone connect there. I'm also applying for a job at my local YMCA for the Member Services desk. It would be great to help the deaf and hard of hearing community connect there also. I'm very excited about learning ASL. I love helping people. 😊
