We’re running a video data collection study to record American Sign Language (ASL) and Black American Sign Language (BASL) videos. Participants will record short, voice-assistant-style commands (everyday phrases, common requests, conversational prompts) to help AI systems better understand signed requests.
This work directly supports more inclusive technology for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing users. Each participant will complete 1,000 short videos, most around 10 seconds or less, recorded at home on an Apple device.
Record 1,000 short videos following provided ASL or BASL prompts
Follow setup instructions (sitting/standing, device placement, lighting)
Upload videos and participate in onboarding and periodic check-ins
Work independently while meeting project timelines
Fluent in ASL or BASL, or at least 2 semesters of college ASL
Use ASL or BASL daily
Minimum proficiency in reading and writing English
Access to an Apple device (iPhone, iPad, MacBook, or iMac)
Reliable internet connection
Comfortable using device/camera and following step-by-step instructions
Additional tools/software may be provided if needed (e.g., MacOS foot pedals for hands-free recording)
