Samsung Electronics provides ‘Meet Sign Language’ for vacuum cleaners, a manual for the deaf

Samsung Electronics prepared a vacuum cleaner user guide for the deaf.

Samsung Electronics announced on the 2nd that it will be joining the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism’s ‘Meet Sign Language’ project on the 3rd.

This project is an event promoted on the 27th Day of the Deaf, and a unique sign containing a QR code guiding Korean sign language interpretation services for the deaf will be distributed.

Samsung Electronics was the only private company to take part and produced a sign language video showing how to use and control robot vacuum cleaners such as the ‘Bespoke Jet AI’ stick cleaner and the ‘Bespoke Jet Bot AI’. The ‘Meet Sueo’ logo will be placed on the product packaging box to provide easy to use instructions for the deaf.

Samsung Electronics previously introduced a sign language consultation service to online and offline stores from last year, and also provides sign language interpretation services from sales to service and installation. You can use it by selecting ‘sign language consultation’ from the ‘shop consultation order’ on the homepage and making an order.

In addition to sign language support, dedicated home devices use AI technology to remember and recommend frequently used courses on their own, with ‘AI personal recommendation’ function and ‘SmartThings’ or ‘Bixby’ voice recognition function to improve accessibility works for them

“We participated in the ‘Meet Suo’ project so that more customers can use the product conveniently,” said Lee Bo-na, vice president of Samsung Electronics’ home appliance division. We will continue to improve the accessibility of services and services,” He said.

Kang Jeong-won, spokesman for the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism said, “As a ministry responsible for Korean sign language, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism planned this ‘Meet Sign Language’ project in the hope that the culture of providing sign language interpretation services would spread further throughout society as well as in the public domain.”
