Apple TV introduces new Sign Language interpretation feature

Apple announced a new accessibility feature for the Apple TV app that gives viewers the option to watch supported titles with accompanying sign language interpretation.1 The feature will be available on Friday, November 13, alongside the global streaming premiere of Being Heumann, a film based on the true story of disability rights activist Judy Heumann, on Apple TV.

In addition to Being Heumann, interpretation for American Sign Language (ASL) and British Sign Language (BSL) will be available for the movie F1. Later this year, Way of the Warrior Kid and Greyhound will follow, with more Apple Original titles to come. When turned on in Apple TV app settings, the Sign Language option will appear on supported Apple Original titles.

Being Heumann, directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Siân Heder and starring Ruth Madeley, chronicles the story of disability rights activist Judy Heumann.

Titles with sign language interpretation will be labeled with a Sign Language icon, making it easy to know when the option is available. Viewers can enable the feature in Apple TV app settings, then press the Sign Language button while watching. Search will also make it easier to find titles that feature sign language with simple phrases like “with ASL.”

As sign language interpretation becomes more widely available across streaming services, the new “Movies & Shows with American Sign Language” collection on the Apple TV app will offer viewers a simple way to explore titles featuring sign language, in one dedicated destination.
