Language is not one-dimensional. Some languages live through movement. Some live through sound. Some live on a page.
For too long, technology has treated language access as if one solution could fit all. Written translations for those who read. Maybe an audio track if budgets allow. Almost never signed languages.
But here’s the truth:
- Signed languages cannot be written. They live only in movement and expression, delivered through video.
- Some oral languages cannot be written. They exist only in sound, accessible through audio.
- Not everyone reads or writes. Millions of people worldwide including those with reading disabilities — rely on audio or video to access information.
This is why PIVOT was built differently.
What is Triple Modality?
At its core, PIVOT is the first patent-pending language access technology designed with triple modality built in:
Video – Delivering signed languages for Deaf and signing communities worldwide
Audio – Supporting oral languages and providing multilingual voiceovers for people who don’t read or who process information auditorily.
Text – Translating written languages for global communication
Three modes. All equal. All essential.
Why It Matters
When you provide only text, you exclude those who rely on audio or video. When you provide only video, you exclude those who prefer to read or listen. When you provide only audio, you exclude those who communicate visually or in writing.
Triple modality ensures no one is left behind.
It’s not just multilingual. It’s all-lingual.
Beyond Access — Toward Equity
PIVOT’s triple modality is about more than compliance. It’s about meeting people where they are:
- A Deaf signer accessing vital information in their signed language.
- A non-reader understanding instructions through voiceover.
- A multilingual professional reading in their preferred written language.
This isn’t three features. It’s one philosophy: Every person. Every language. Every way.
The Bigger Vision
Language is how we connect, learn, and belong. But the way we use language isn’t uniform. That’s why PIVOT doesn’t force a choice — it honors all modalities.
Because the future of language access isn’t about offering “more languages” in one format. It’s about offering all languages in every format.
The future is all-lingual. And with PIVOT, that future is already here.
