New Sign Language Translation Platform Revolutionizes Information Accessibility for the Deaf Community
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cirrus, a leading sign language accessibility firm offering education-focused interpreting, today announced the launch of CirrusTranslate, a revolutionary new platform that brings written and spoken language to life for the Deaf and hard of hearing community through high-quality American Sign Language (ASL) translation. An ASL translation of this press release is available here. Cirrus' dynamic translators help companies, schools, government agencies and non-profits connect with the Deaf community by delivering inclusive, ADA-compliant communication that deepens understanding, builds trust and expresses emotion. CirrusTranslate makes translation simple and efficient. Users upload their content and the platform delivers video translations in multiple formats. These AI-assisted, human-delivered translations could provide equal access to information for the almost 7 million sign language users across the U.S. and the 70 million users worldwide. "CirrusTranslate is the first U.S. platform to offer this level of scale, quality and simplicity in ASL translation,' said Christian Fillman, chief executive officer at Cirrus. "We created this service to bridge the gap between intention and impact, helping organizations understand and properly serve the Deaf community by providing translations that convey the true meaning of the content.' Sign language is the preferred language for many Deaf individuals as traditional written language or closed captions often miss the nuance that sign language conveys. For example, medical institutions can now reliably and affordably deliver pre‑operative instructions in ASL, while schools can make lessons and standardized tests fully accessible to Deaf students in their native language. This service empowers organizations to make their content accessible, allowing them to reach Deaf audiences in a clear, respectful and visually engaging way. How CirrusTranslate Works Upload Your File – Visit to upload any video or document. The service can translate video (mp4, mov) or audio files (mp3, wav) and PDF documents. Place Your Order – Through the use of AI, users can upload a file, receive a quote and pay for the translation - all typically in less than a minute. Receive Translations – Your finished ASL translation is delivered in multiple formats, often within just 3-5 business days. 'Our mission is to ensure that Deaf and hard of hearing individuals have access to communication that is not only accurate, but also respectful of their language and culture,' said Rhett Youngberg, chief technology officer at Cirrus. 'In a world where technology often threatens to replace human touch, we are committed to keeping humans at the heart of sign language translation.'

Why Cirrus Logic Stock Jumped Today
Shares of semiconductor company Cirrus Logic (NASDAQ: CRUS) jumped on Wednesday after the company reported financial results for its fiscal third quarter of 2025. As of 12:30 p.m. ET, Cirrus Logic stock was up 6%. At the end of the second quarter, Cirrus Logic's management was somewhat unsure what to expect for Q3. It gave Q3 revenue guidance of $480 million to $540 million -- that's a big $60 million gap. But the company did far better than ever the high end of this outlook, with Q3 revenue ultimately coming in at $556 million. Granted, that was down 10% year over year, but it was far better than expected. Cirrus' largest customer by far is Apple -- its components are used in the company's devices. And Cirrus' management said that its revenue was so good thanks to "strong demand for our smartphone audio components." This demand helped to lift the company's margins, with its Q3 gross margin of 53.6% meaningfully ahead of its gross margin of 51.3% in the prior-year period. Cirrus' earnings per share (EPS) of $2.11 were down from EPS of $2.50. But its Q3 EPS was still ahead of analysts' expectations, which is why the stock is up today. Cirrus' management still has a degree of uncertainty with demand for its products -- revenue guidance for the upcoming fiscal fourth quarter is $350 million to $410 million, which again is a wide range. That said, revenue for the fiscal fourth quarter of 2024 was $372 million. So it's possible that Cirrus gets back to growth in Q4, which investors are pleased to see. One particularly good development in Q3 was that Cirrus Logic's products are getting into more devices, such as laptops. Diversifying its business into more use cases could help this business grow, and management is optimistic about its roadmap. Therefore, Cirrus Logic stock seems like one to watch in 2025.
