The Hand Talk Plugin , an accessibility window available for websites – which translates texts from Portuguese to Brazilian Sign Language, has a new version! Our development and user experience team worked on several new features for this launch and we're going to tell you everything. Why a new version? We realized that most people who used the Hand Talk Plugin did so on their cell phones and the experience in this format was limited. The plugin on mobile had few features and configuration options. Thinking about improving this experience, we created a new version prioritizing mobile devices. What do we have new? Tutorial on how to use the plugin Right after the presentation of Hugo or Maya, an informative screen will appear with all the details and new features of the plugin, in case you have any questions. This is an optional action and you can choose whether you want to learn by selecting Yes or No. Illustration representing the Plugin tutorial. There is a window on the left side asking if the person wants to learn how to use the plugin and two alternative answers being Yes and No. Hugo is next to this window.
If you choose not to watch it at that moment, no problem! Just go to the Tutorial menu option to ask questions about the new features later. Tutorial image of the plugin window.

Menus in both versions As we said at the beginning, making the mobile version of the plugin similar to the desktop version was one of our main objectives, so we could provide users with a similar experience in both versions, in addition to guaranteeing the visual consistency of the plugin.

One of them is related to translations, with options to pause the signaling, increase or decrease the speed and evaluate the translation made. In the other menu we have several configuration options, such as changing the background behind the character, changing to dark and light mode, changing the plugin's position from right to left, more information about Hand Talk, participating in surveys and a tutorial on all the new features of the Hand Talk Plugin.

Background color change It is now possible to add a background to the plugin window in both the mobile and desktop versions (desktop computers). So, if you don't want to see the site's texts behind Hugo or Maya, and just focus on the signage, you can modify it by selecting this function in the main menu. We have three background options: transparent, 50% transparency and fully filled. Animated image of the Hand Talk plugin on a cell phone.
