Accessible Vatican Apps

This App Uses Sign Language to Disseminate Information From the Holy See

— December 24, 2021 — Tech
The Dicastery of Communication, which is responsible for overseeing communications operations for the Vatican City and the Holy See, has launched a brand new Vatican app that is designed to make it easier than ever for people living with visual and communication-related disabilities to go about keeping tabs on the latest news and updates from the Catholic Church.

The 'Vatical for All' app offers a range of features including real-time translation into Italian Sign Language and a delayed translation channel for American Sign Language.

Available for free from the Google Play and Apple App Stores, this app aims to ensure that people with communication challenges do not feel left out of the various news and festivities arising from the holiday season.
