What is Visual Interpreting?

Visual interpreting makes visual information accessible for people who are blind or low vision (BLV). You can think of it as similar to how sign language or video relay interpreting makes audible speech accessible for people who are deaf or hard of hearing.

Visual interpreting conveys vital information through verbal communication. Interpreters audibly describe, read, explain, and navigate in real-time for people in the BLV community.

visual interpreting helps people:

Navigate and travel

Fully participate at work or school

Shop

Read

Visualize surroundings

Complete daily and online tasks

Engage socially
