App Profile: Sorenson BuzzCards

Type it. Show it.

BuzzCards is an app designed to help deaf people communicate easily with people who don’t know sign language. The app works like a deck of flashcards. You type the message and show it to the person with whom you are communicating.

You can write and save cards with the messages you use the most. For example, “Where is the restroom?” or “Where is the nearest bust stop?” You can also make or edit cards on the fly, as needed. The cards are organized by category - for example, “Dining” or “Travel” – to make them easy to find. There is no limit to the number of cards you can create. The BuzzCards app makes face-to-face communication simple; just type it and show it.
