What our users are saying

“I’m a school bus driver. 3 of my students are deaf. Hugo has helped me learn enough sign to have brief exchanges with them. I hope Hugo continues to teach me. The kids love that I’m trying and think it’s funny when I mess up and are eager to correct me. Thanks Hugo.”

“As a firefighter and inspector with the fire department, we do smoke alarm installations for hearing impaired individuals.I was able to utilise Hugo to allow me to communicate between the family who is hearing impaired and myself. Installing smoke alarms is a matter of life safety. Therefore being able to communicate is essential. Thank you for your App. It came in “HANDY”.”

Curiosities

- Why are Hugo and Maya virtual translators?

There is a difference between translators, interpreters and virtual translators. Today, when referring to Hugo or Maya, we use this nomenclature.

- Can I say “deaf people”?

If you thought this term was offensive, you are mistaken. It is the way they prefer to be called. On the other hand, using deaf-mute is wrong, deaf people have a voice and muteness is a different disability.

-Is Sign Language made up of “signs” or “gestures”?

At some point you must have come across the term “gestures” when referring to ASL, right? While signs are how people communicate in Sign Languages, gestures are just movements people often use as part of their communicative act.

- Is there a difference between deaf and hearing impaired people?

From a clinical point of view, what differentiates the deaf from the hearing impaired is the depth of the hearing loss. However, taking into consideration only the clinical perspective is not enough, since the different terms also carry an important cultural component: American Sign Language.
