While we covered the in another post. Here, we share 12 of the best apps for Deaf people. This includes a video chat app for the Deaf, communication and alarm clock apps, and apps to help hearing people communicate in \u2014 and learn \u2014 sign language.<\/p>

Included here:<\/p>

1. ntouch\u00ae<\/sup> by Sorenson<\/h2>

Cost:<\/strong> $0<\/p>

If you\u2019re Deaf or hard-of-hearing and use sign language to communicate, you can register for VRS from Sorenson (or another provider) and use ntouch (or another VRS app) on your mobile phone. Federal funding covers the cost for the service, which is available only to qualified individuals.<\/p>

Using ASL on a typical phone doesn\u2019t work. That\u2019s why video relay service (VRS) came about. Problem is the world is mobile today. And traditional videophones aren\u2019t.<\/p>

ntouch solves that by turning your smartphone or laptop into a videophone, so you can make video relay calls anytime, anywhere.<\/p>

All you need to make calls at home, at work, at school, and when you\u2019re out and about is a Sorenson VRS account<\/a> and smartphone, videophone, or computer. You can even make 911 calls in ASL<\/a>.\u00a0Calls are all encrypted, so you have total privacy.<\/p>

\u201cThis is one of my favorites, the best of communications, if that made my life easier to communicate to anyone, who can talk, type back, without a misunderstanding, Interpect wrong words? I am tired of repeatedly, mistakes, getting into trouble! This’ll be a good idea to have to, at least, it’s worth a try, lol!\u201d<\/p>

\u201cI love those features on my mobile where I can click to xfer my call from ntouch mobile to vp and xfer to my friend when they need to talk to my other friend. I can simple to click transfer my call to other person. Also love the location where when I get lost or accident and I can click share location to the Interpreter to send the tow man to come to the right place. Thank you, Sorenson!\u201d<\/p>

2. Sorenson for Zoom<\/h2>

Cost:<\/strong>\u00a0$0<\/p>

If you\u2019re Deaf or hard-of-hearing and use sign language to communicate, you can register for a VRS account with Sorenson, which is covered by Federal funds.<\/p>

Sorenson for Zoom makes it\u2019s easier than ever for a Deaf individual to attend a Zoom meeting and communicate in a group conversation with people who don\u2019t know ASL. Note that Sorenson for Zoom cannot be used for webinars.<\/p>

Sorenson for Zoom is not a traditional smartphone app. And there are two versions of the app. One is available through the Zoom Marketplace<\/a> and works on a desktop running MacOS or Windows. \u00a0It requires that the host have a Sorenson VRS account and a paid Zoom account.<\/p>

The other is a web app usable on any device that can access the internet and has a browser, such as a smartphone.<\/p>

Either app lets you dial in to Sorenson VRS directly through Zoom when the meeting is hosted on a paid account and add VRS interpretation services to the meeting.<\/p>

Learn more about Sorenson for Zoom<\/a> and\/or the web app<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

3. Hand Talk Translator<\/h2>

Cost: <\/strong>Includes ads and in-app purchases<\/p>

When you\u2019re out and about and in a pinch, Hand Talk Translator from Hand Talk Servicos Ltda might help with basic communication. Built originally for Brazilian Sign Language (Libras), a beta version automatically translates text and audio into American Sign Language.<\/p>

Note that some users express disappointment with the current ASL output and that the app fingerspells too many things. So, user beware. With luck, the beta version for ASL will help the developer work the bugs out.<\/p>

If you know someone you\u2019d like to ask to learn sign language, Hand Talk is also one of several apps that can help. And you can use it as a rudimentary communication solution or alternative to a captioning app<\/a> when you need to talk with someone who doesn\u2019t sign.<\/p>

The app\u2019s page on Google Play claims it was, \u201celected the World\u2019s Best Social App by the UN.\u201d We weren\u2019t able to verify this claim.<\/p>

The developer recommends the app as a complimentary communication solution for classrooms, homes with both Deaf and hearing individuals, and as an ASL teaching aid.<\/p>

\u201cThis app is absolutely fantastic…. I work with several \u2026 people with one of them being deaf and I can tell you this app is an absolute lifesaver! 12\/10 would wholeheartedly recommend!!!\u201d<\/p>

\u2014 Traditional, 5 stars<\/p>

4. Cardzilla<\/h2>

Cost:<\/strong> $0<\/p>

Cardzilla by Tim Ketttering for iOS or Randall Noriego for Android lets you easily convert messages into large text. You don\u2019t have to scroll when using this app. Your message automatically resizes to fit the screen as you type. It also saves your messages for you. It\u2019s easy to navigate with a simple swipe. All you have to do to save and clear a message is shake your phone.<\/p>

The app supports Dark Mode and lets you customize your colors and even use it with an attached keyboard. And the app is Deaf-owned and designed!<\/p>

A Sorenson staffer shared, \u201cI use Cardzilla more frequently for conversations than Make it Big. It\u2019s more convenient in that I can shake off text and keep typing. It makes for a more dynamic conversation.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cA Must for the Deaf People and People who can\u2018t\/don\u2018t want to talk!!,\u2026<\/p>

\u201cA friend told me about this app so I downloaded it. Zowie! It\u2018s worth every cent many times over! So ridiculous easy to use!!! I can swipe to the left to erase the whole message and start anew. What\u2018s awesome is all of messages is stored for later use! I can also delete the old messages if I choose to. What\u2018s more, I can modify the old messages. Wow! I am getting the equivalent of brain freeze, thinking about how easy the app is!<\/p>

\u201cI feel so comfortable using this app and have pushed my deaf friends to get this app.\u201d<\/p>

5. Make It Big for iPhone<\/h2>

Cost:<\/strong> $0<\/p>

Make It Big from An Trinh turns typed copy into big copy \u2014 big enough to fill the entire screen. If you, as a Deaf user, need to talk with someone who doesn\u2019t know ASL, you can type and show them what you\u2019re saying without handing over your phone. And they can type their response, so you can have a two-way conversation.<\/p>

It works in portrait and landscape mode. And if you shake your phone, the background color and text change to create a flashing effect \u2014 perfect for when you need to get someone\u2019s attention.<\/p>

The app includes customization options, including font size, text and background colors, turning the flash mode off, and adjusting the speed of the flash mode.<\/p>

\u201cAs a Deaf person, I use this app every day. Literally. I can\u2019t begin to tell you how much this has changed my life in the last 8 years, when I had lunch with a Deaf friend when visiting Washington DC and he showed me this app. It makes it super easy to write out my orders, and I take advantage of the speech-to-text feature when attempting to communicate with others especially during the pandemic.<\/p>

\u201cOne big thing on my wish list for the app is to be able to \u201cfavorite\u201d my most used messages so that I can quickly pull them up from a short list – like my daily coffee order. \ud83d\ude1c Thank you!\u201d<\/p>

6. Make It Big \u2013 Large Text for Android<\/h2>

Cost:<\/strong> Includes ads and in-app purchases<\/p>

Make it big \u2014 Large text for the Android is a different app than Make It Big for iPhone. Make it big \u2013 Large Text is from Cazimir Roman. \u00a0<\/p>

It turns written text into big onscreen words, so you can communicate with people who are Deaf, hard-of-hearing or in a noisy space where they can\u2019t hear you.<\/p>

It automatically resizes what you type to fill the screen, which means it\u2019s limited to shorter sentences.<\/p>

Make it big \u2013 Large Text does let you customize the background and font. It supports offline use, dark mode, emojis, and multiple languages. It lets you save text and search saved texts.<\/p>

\u201cNice and easy to use. I can easily type something out ahead of time. It saves messages for a while so if one is used (for appointments and such) frequently, it is easy to find. As a deaf person who shops alone most often, I highly recommend this for communication.\u201d<\/p>

\u2014 Jean, 5 stars<\/p>

\u201cWorks great for communication to my deaf boss. I would give it 5 stars but I wish there was an easier way to select all text and erase so I can start a new sentence. I am having to select all and delete. I wish there was a shortcut to vanish my last conversation.\u201d<\/p>

\u2014 Jean, 5 stars<\/p>

7. Deaf Wake<\/h2>

Cost:<\/strong> $1.99<\/p>

Deaf Wake from Steven Misfud \u201cwas created by a deaf person and is designed to ensure everyone can get up when they\u2019re supposed to. Removing the risk of sleeping in and being late for meetings, it allows deaf individuals or heavy sleepers to be on time, every time.\u201d<\/p>

The app is not a pre-funeral event (wake) for Deaf people. Instead, it turns your phone into an LED, vibration, and\/or visual alarm clock. When it\u2019s time to rise and shine, you can choose to have the phone screen flash, the phone vibrate, the camera flash go off, and\/or have a loud alarm sound. Customizable alerts let you choose which you want and use different alerts for different scenarios \u2014 such as one for waking and one or more for notifications during a work meeting.<\/p>

You can even use the app as a timer, say for cooking a meal. And you can customize different alarms with your own descriptions.<\/p>

Sisters in Style is run by two Deaf sisters. The duo sells women\u2019s clothing, home decor, and beauty products through live ASL sessions on the app and through their website. Products sold are of high quality, sustainable, and sourced worldwide.<\/p>

The app lets you browse items for sale, make a purchase, and\/or get on a waitlist.<\/p>

\u201cGreat quality videos, with tons of words to choose from. Easy to search for specific words. Sometimes I tap on play all and just watch one sign after another. There is even a quiz section. I usually cover the signers face because I don’t want to be able to read her lips. Nice feature to download videos for offline use. I do however wish there was a way to move videos to external SD card. Make sure you look up the sign for pug!\u201d<\/p>

\u201cI’ve been teaching myself ASL for a little while now, so I’ve tried many different ASL dictionary apps. This is the absolute best app yet!!! It is quick, easy to use, helpful, and it has a ton of words available! The videos are clear and helpful, plus it has the option to slow the video down in slow motion. There are even categories to choose from so that you can learn certain groups of words all at once (food, family, colors, etc. You can also add words to your favorites list for quick reference. The best part about this app though, is the quiz feature!!! It provides a quiz of the different categories, random words, your favorites list, and even fingerspelling (with 3-6 letter word length)!!!!! The app even grades the quiz for you. That is the most helpful ASL learning tool that I’ve seen yet! I highly recommend this app! It’s worth it!\u201d<\/p>

11. The ASL App<\/h2>

Cost:<\/strong> $0 for select bundles with ads and in-app purchases, select paid bundles, or $9.99 for all bundles without ads<\/p>

The ASL App from Ink & Salt LLC is designed by Deaf individuals and features native ASL signers. \u00a0While its reviews give it a somewhat lower overall rating than ASL Dictionary – Sign Language, it is packed with features.<\/p>

In keeping with ASL as a visual language, the app offers your hearing friends and colleagues a visual way to learn ASL at their own pace. Users even have the option to change the speed of individual lessons and a slow-motion option.<\/p>

Users can save signs and even share them, with a social sharing option. And they have access to a variety of themed bundles that teach signs in categories, like dining, foods, timing, nature, geography, and culture.<\/p>

\u201cI love The ASL App. The app is developed, designed, and created by Deaf people. The videos are grouped by themes such as “Know your ABCs” “Universal Gestures” “The Wilderness Beckons” and the list goes on. The app itself is free, but there are only a select number of free group lessons. Each one after that is a dollar each. Totally worth it in my opinion as the videos for each sign are fantastic. I highly recommend.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cI love, LOVE, LOVE this app! I appreciate that there are members of the Deaf community and hearing allies teaching the material and that I have a chance to learn idiomatic phrases and slang as well as basic signs. Bonus: Nyles DiMarco, from America\u2019s Top Model teaches some of the signs! That alone, makes it worth the in-app purchases, in my opinion. Getting all the bundles is only $9.99, which for all that information, great videos, and easy accessibility makes it a steal! I like that you can buy everything up front and are not being drained by a subscription. I am a real person, not affiliated with the app \ud83d\ude09 I am excited to use these signs with my teenage son, who has autism and my step-dad, who is HOH.<\/p>
