Hi Janina, Based on the discussion last week I've updated the Signing avatar user need and requirement with some suggested text: <suggested update> 4.10 Text description transformation User Need 10: A deaf or hard of hearing person, for whom English or any other written language, may not be their first language and may have a preference for signing of text alternatives or equivalents. REQ 10a: Allow text, objects or item descriptions to be presented to the user via a signing avatar. NOTE Any signing avatar should convey the natural quality and skill provided by appropriately trained and qualified interpreters and translators. There have been concerns expressed by the WFD and WASLI 'Statement on Use of Signing Avatars' as machine translations have yet to emulate the human ability in creating a live interpretation (spoken or signed). Currently, it is not possible to provide an accurate live interpretation via a signing avatar. Therefore uses of signed avatars should rely on pre-recording of 'real people' who are trained and qualified interpreters and translators. [wfd-wasli] </suggested update> https://raw.githack.com/w3c/apa/xaur-signing-avatar/xaur/index.html Thoughts and comments welcome, thanks Josh -- Emerging Web Technology Specialist/Accessibility (WAI/W3C)
