Merge Interpreter

Merge Interpreter is a Chrome extension launched by Merge, established in 2020, to bridge communication gaps for Deaf and hard of hearing people using cutting-edge information system technologies. The extension provides businesses, public institutions, and individuals with easy, direct access to 24/7 online sign language interpreters via video calls, enabling effective communication without the need for a physical interpreter.

Designed originally during the COVID-19 pandemic, the app supports daily tasks like communication with doctors, banks, and customer service agents. Features include business profiles for identity and contact info, QR code scanning to request interpreter calls, and urgent priority calls for emergency situations. Merge aims to integrate Deaf and hard of hearing people fully into society by creating a common language and offering assistive solutions that empower independence and inclusion.
