In the bustling city of Gurugram, Nisha Kumari and her husband—a resilient couple who are both hearing impaired—set out on an ambitious journey: to build their own home. Without the support of extended family and facing the daily challenges of communication in a predominantly hearing world, their dream could have seemed distant. But what they lacked in traditional support, they made up for with determination, confidence, and the right technology solution provided by VOSAP.
Their biggest challenge in managing the construction process was communicating with vendors and laborers—from ordering materials to giving instructions and settling payments. That’s when they discovered the Signable App, a powerful tool designed to bridge communication gaps for the deaf and hard-of-hearing community.
Using Signable, the couple was able to interact seamlessly with contractors, suppliers, and workers. The app enabled them to communicate with help of a live sign language interpreter, allowing clear three-way video chat, communication. This technology proved invaluable in overseeing the many moving parts of a construction project—something that would have been incredibly difficult otherwise.
In an energetic and heartfelt conversation with VOSAP founder in a zoom meeting, using sign language, Nisha expressed her deep gratitude, saying,
“We don’t worry about communication barriers because we use this service, and we will continue to use it.”
Their story is more than just about building a house—it’s about building a life of dignity, self-reliance, and confidence. Despite facing multiple social and structural challenges, Nisha and her husband showed that with the right tools and an unwavering spirit, anything is possible.
Nisha Kumari’s journey stands as a powerful testament to perseverance, the strength of the human will, and the incredible role of assistive technology like the Signable App in enabling independence and inclusion.
