At Kara Technologies, we believe accessibility should be built in—not bolted on.
We’re gearing up to launch KAT (Kara Auto Translate), our cutting-edge AI system for short-form, near-real-time sign language translation. It’s designed to help organizations quickly communicate essential messages in American Sign Language, ideal for brief, fast-moving content like alerts, updates, or service notifications.
But what if your message is longer? What if it needs context, tone, or emotional nuance?
What if you often change your content and need quick turn around in translations?
That’s where our solution KAT Hybrid comes in—and it’s available now.
What is KAT Hybrid?
KAT Hybrid is our premium solution for recorded or scheduled content, the kind of information that doesn’t need to be immediate, but absolutely needs to be understood.
It fuses our AI translation engine with Certified Deaf Interpreter (CDI) expertise, ensuring linguistic accuracy, cultural relevance, and expressive delivery.
Here’s how it works:
AI-Driven First Draft
The Kara engine processes your content using our AI tools and Kara Notation System (KNS) and our validated ASL database to create a translation scaffold.
CDI Human Review
Then our CDI's review the translation, refine grammar, emotion, timing, adding features such as role shift where required, making sure it flows naturally and feels authentic to Deaf audiences.
Delivered in Days
Content is finalized and returned quickly, often within a few days depending on scope and urgency.
What Content is it Perfect For?
KAT Hybrid is ideal for non-time-sensitive but high-value content, such as:
University lectures or educational modules
Brand videos, product explainers, or commercials
Tutorials or how-to content
Public announcements (non-emergency)
Onboarding, customer support, and HR messaging
Service information, guides, or FAQs
And much, much more!
What Makes KAT Hybrid Different?
KAT Hybrid delivers:
Natural pacing and pauses
Accurate references to time, dates, and directions
Role-shifting and spatial clarity abilities
Correct facial expressions and emotional nuance
Human-reviewed, fluent ASL delivery
