Belgrade Airport trials sign language announcements

NEWS FLASH


Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport and Serbian start-up SignAvatar are trialling the translation of passenger announcements in sign language for the hearing impaired. The AI-powered tool turns speech and text into sign language automatically. During the trial run, five screens with the sign language announcements have been rolled out across the terminal, with plans to expand the solution across the entire airport complex. The TransportSign solution by SignAvatar was recently adopted at Belgrade’s central railway station as well.

    Does Belgrade Airport offer SMS, email or smartphone app notifications for schedule and gate changes for all departing flights? That would be effective way to communicatr announcements to all passengers who subscribe to the service. It is already offered by other airports.

      Air Serbia offers sms reminders about online check-in being available and about your flight being in 24 hours.

    Great news. It would be fantastic if Serbia introduces the “sunflower sign” that is worn in more and more countries. It shows you have some invisible impairment such as Celiac disease, autism, diabetes, visual impairments, and so on. This is implemented in all public institutions, airports, railway stations, supermarkets…wherever you need to queue.
