FAQs

  • Is the AI content human-reviewed?

    No, and that’s important. The API is entirely AI-generated, with no human grammar checking or quality assurance. The output may include grammatical inaccuracies from a BSL or ASL perspective, so it is not suitable for formal, legal, or official use. It’s best for casual messaging or testing new accessibility concepts.
