ASL/BASL 视频贡献者 - 远程付费项目（700元）

About the Project
DataForce by TransPerfect is looking for American Sign Language (ASL) and Black American Sign Language (BASL) signers across the United States to participate in a paid remote research project.
The goal of this project is to help make technology more accessible for everyone and promote greater inclusion of Deaf and signing communities in the development of future technologies.
We believe that projects involving ASL, BASL, and the Deaf and Hard of Hearing communities should include meaningful representation from the communities themselves. Our project team includes Deaf and Hard of Hearing professionals who are directly involved in the administration and development of the project.
Their perspectives help us make informed decisions, advocate for the interests of the community, and ensure that accessibility, cultural considerations, and participant experience are represented throughout the project.
What You’ll Do
Participants will record approximately 1,000 short ASL/BASL videos from home, including phrases, numbers, fingerspelling sequences, and conversational prompts.
Each recording is approximately 10 seconds long. Completing the full set is expected to take approximately 10 hours in total.
The project can be completed remotely from home using a compatible Apple device.
Compensation
$700 USD for completing the project according to the study guidelines.
This is a project-based opportunity and not a full-time employment position.

• Be 18 years of age or older
