Listen Later

What happens when technology, human connection, and sign language expertise come together to close access gaps for the Deaf community?

In this episode, Shari Eberts sits down with Cirrus co-founders Chris Fillman and Rhett Youngberg to explore the mission behind CirrusTranslate—a new AI-assisted, human-delivered platform for American Sign Language (ASL) translation. The platform aims to increase accessibility while protecting the role of qualified interpreters.

The conversation highlights challenges in interpreter education, limitations of automated tools, and how Cirrus is working to support Deaf access in healthcare, education, and beyond.
