ASL Translator

Get it here.
Cost: $4.99



UDL Guideline 1.2 - Offer alternatives of auditory information
Users can type an English sentence and the app will translate from English to American Sign Language (ASL). Not a replacement for a qualified interpreter, but users can use this app for quick communication with a Deaf person and/or to learn ASL. 

General Critique
It is important for the user to know that ASL has a different grammatical structure than English and this app translates English into ASL signs in English word order. Although, not a perfect interpretation in ASL, this app can still be beneficial when trying to communicate with a Deaf individual.
