Abstract
With the rise of usage in digital content in education, deaf and blind communities face communication barriers which as a result makes education less inclusive. These barriers do not allow them to integrate within the larger scholarly communities as most tools used for information dissemination remain inaccessible to them. This paper presents BDC-API (Blind/Deaf Communications API), a free-to-use modular toolkit that will ease accessibility for the blind and deaf communities to digital education content. This content includes the use cases of Massive Online Open Courses and Serious Games used in education. BDC-API incorporates the use of state of the art technologies such as, 3D sign language translator, grammar translation, voice recognition and text-to-speech. This paper demonstrates in greater detail, how these technologies culminate in the creation of an API ready to use for any educational digital content and how the BDC-API can ensure higher quality of digital content.
