PTA, DeafTawk ink MoU to boost accessibility for people with hearing disabilities
January 02, 2025

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority has signed an MoU with DeafTawk in Islamabad to advance accessibility for people with hearing impairments in public services.

Through this partnership, DeafTawk will provide “DeafTawk Plus,” enabling online sign language interpretation for deaf visitors at PTA offices. PTA will also integrate AI-powered text-to-sign and speech-to-sign tools into its digital platforms, with annual accessibility audits to ensure continuous improvement.

This groundbreaking initiative addresses communication challenges faced by over ten million deaf individuals in Pakistan, promoting an equitable and inclusive society.
