Sign-now.com was co-founded in 2006 by Deaf entrepreneurs Andrew Thomson and Dean Humphreys, who had the desire to remove the barriers that the Deaf Community experience when accessing information and services.
In 2008, Sign-now.com welcomed the addition of Caroline Thomson to make the most of the combined talents. Caroline, who also manages Online Advocacy Services,is an independent advocacy for the deaf in Scotland and also our current technological prowness
in web based technology. It was also in that year Andrew Thomson won the 2008 Stelios Award for Disabled Entrepreneur of the Year.
Although Andrew and Dean began the business with the Deaf Community in mind, it became clear that the technology had application for the wider
marketplace. As tough economic times begin to hit, www.sign-now.com is taking their products, Videotalk and Communicator, to the wider private and public
sector markets as these tools can be used for organisations to cut overheads by using remote technology to keep in touch with staff who are on the road or home based.

Since establishing www.sign-now.com the company has been able to expand their range of products and services and now offer a One Stop Shop approach
for clients.
We can provide:

Production of BSL video clips from English scripts

BSL/English translation services

A confidential online interpreting service through Interpreter Agency Ltd

Advocacy for BSL users

Online video conferencing services for hearing and Deaf users using our Communicator and Videotalk products.

We have also created a video sharing website for Deaf people called www.sign-tube.com which can be used as a way to access public information videos that are in BSL. This website can also provide your company with
space for advertising that can then be linked to your
own website.
All of the above services can be bought individually
or in a combined package, giving you less hassle
trying to find other companies to do different jobs to meet
your needs.
