Test the experience
Run scenarios across AI, software, media, devices, and real-world workflows instead of checking one isolated component.
DeafAccess by Lantern Arc
Test whether critical information stays accessible.
DeafAccess is in development. It is being built to help teams detect, prove, prioritize, fix, and retest communication failures affecting Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing users.
Why it exists
A passing checklist can still miss the failure that matters.
DeafAccess is designed around the complete journey: can the user join, receive the information, understand it, act on it, recover if something fails, and finish the task?
Preserve critical information
Pay special attention to names, numbers, dates, amounts, codes, warnings, speaker attribution, and other details where a small error can change meaning.
Keep evidence attached
Connect the observed behavior, expected behavior, impact, environment, evidence, owner, and retest result.
Platform model
Platform + capability packs + workflow.
The planned Labs stay understandable by grouping specialized testing capabilities into a smaller number of customer-facing capability areas.
AI & Communication
Speech, captions, agents, context, critical information, and regressions.
Safety & Emergency
Alerts, emergency communication, real-time text, recovery, and public spaces.
Devices & Hardware
Haptics, hearing devices, broadcast audio, vehicles, and vendor integrations.
Media & Experience
Media, user experience, sign language, interpreting, DeafBlind access, and gaming.
SignalDesk in DeafAccess
Accessibility findings become engineering work.
SignalDesk is planned as the workflow layer for assignment, remediation, retesting, and verification, keeping each finding connected to the evidence that created it.
