Jazz Partners with DeafTawk to Revolutionize Support for the Deaf Community
Jazz partners with DeafTawk to introduce real-time sign language interpretation at customer care centers, ensuring seamless communication and inclusivity for the deaf community in Pakistan. This initiative highlights the power of technology in breaking barriers and fostering equal access to essential services.
In a move to create a more inclusive environment for the deaf community, Jazz, Pakistan’s leading digital services provider, has partnered with DeafTawk, a global pioneer in accessible communication technology. This partnership marks a significant milestone in enhancing accessibility for individuals with hearing impairments.
The collaboration introduces the DeafTawk Plus app at Jazz customer care centers across Pakistan. Through this integration, deaf customers will be able to connect with professional sign language interpreters in real time using a tablet or similar device. This step eliminates communication barriers and ensures deaf customers can access support without depending on others.
“This partnership reflects Jazz’s commitment to an inclusive future where everyone has equal access to essential services,” said Kazim Mujtaba, President of the Consumer Division at Jazz. “We believe in leveraging technology to empower individuals and create a society where diversity and inclusion thrive.”
Ali Shabbar, CEO and Founder of DeafTawk, praised the initiative: “Partnering with Jazz is a breakthrough for inclusivity in Pakistan’s telecom industry. By addressing the communication needs of the deaf community, we’re not just offering a service but a chance for equal participation in everyday life.”
DeafTawk’s innovative platform has already made waves by offering online sign language interpretation services. Their participation in the Jazz xlr8 accelerator program at the National Incubation Center (NIC) further highlights the synergy between the two organizations.
This collaboration showcases the power of technology in driving social equity and underscores Jazz’s role as a trailblazer in Pakistan’s digital transformation. Together, Jazz and DeafTawk are setting a precedent for a future that values accessibility and inclusion for all.
