Apple has announced a new accessibility feature for its Apple TV app, allowing viewers to watch supported movies and shows with on-screen sign language interpretation. The feature, which will debut for the movie "Being Heumann," will display an interpreter in the bottom-right corner of the screen and is designed and tested by Deaf and native signers.
American Sign Language (ASL) and British Sign Language (BSL) interpretation will be available for "Being Heumann," "F1," "Way of the Warrior Kid," and "Greyhound" initially. Over time, the feature will expand to additional Apple Original films and series, with titles labeled by a Sign Language icon. Viewers can enable the feature in the Apple TV app settings and press the Sign Language button while watching a supported movie or show.
Apple emphasizes its commitment to making the viewing experience more accessible and inclusive for Deaf audiences.
