Disclaimer

---

Welcome to ASLTyping.com.

We created ASLTyping to make learning, practicing, exploring, and creating with American Sign Language (ASL)-related resources easier and more enjoyable.

We care about the quality of what we publish and build. At the same time, we believe being useful also means being honest about the limitations of a website like ours.

This Disclaimer explains those limitations.

By using ASLTyping, you acknowledge that the information, tools, games, dictionary resources, generated outputs, downloads, and other materials available through the website are subject to the limitations described below.

1. Educational and Informational Purposes

Content on ASLTyping is primarily provided for general educational, informational, practice, and creative purposes.

Our resources are intended to support learning and exploration.

They should not automatically be treated as:

• professional ASL instruction;
• certified interpreter training;
• professional interpreting services;
• linguistic consultation;
• accessibility consultation;
• legal advice;
• medical advice;
• financial advice;
• employment advice; or
• another form of individualized professional service.

For situations where accuracy, certification, accessibility, legal rights, health, employment, or another important decision matters, please consult an appropriately qualified professional or authoritative source.

2. An Important Note About Our ASL Content

We want to be particularly transparent about this.

Our founder is not Deaf and does not claim to be an ASL expert, certified interpreter, linguist, or representative of the Deaf community.

Our primary background is in technology, development, programming, automation, digital design, and creating user-friendly digital tools.

ASL is a complete natural language with its own grammar, linguistic structure, history, culture, regional variation, and community.

We respect that distinction.

ASLTyping is our attempt to combine technology with available learning resources to create useful tools and organize information in accessible ways.

It should not be interpreted as a claim that ASLTyping or its founder speaks on behalf of Deaf people or the wider Deaf community.

3. We Are Still Learning

ASLTyping is a growing platform.

We work to make our resources useful and aim to improve them over time, but we do not claim that everything on the website will always be perfect.

Despite our efforts, a page, dictionary entry, example, tool result, game, image, generated output, or other resource may occasionally contain:

• an error;
• an omission;
• outdated information;
• an unclear explanation;
• a technical problem; or
• something that could be presented more accurately.

If we become aware of a meaningful problem, we may review, correct, clarify, update, or remove the relevant material.

We welcome respectful and constructive corrections.

Learning is part of building ASLTyping too.

4. ASL Is Not Simply English on the Hands

ASL has its own grammar, syntax, conventions, vocabulary, and cultural context.

A direct word-for-word conversion from written English should not automatically be assumed to represent natural ASL.

Similarly, fingerspelling a word and expressing a concept through ASL are not necessarily the same thing.

Some ASL signs and usages may also vary based on factors such as region, context, community, generation, or individual usage.

Resources on ASLTyping should therefore be understood as learning aids rather than a guarantee that every representation is the only possible or universally preferred form.

For advanced learning or situations requiring high linguistic accuracy, users should consider learning directly from qualified ASL educators and appropriate Deaf-led or authoritative resources.

5. ASL Picture Dictionary Disclaimer

Our ASL Picture Dictionary is intended to help users explore and locate visual learning information conveniently.

It is a learning and reference resource.

We do not guarantee that every dictionary entry:

• represents every possible variation of a sign;
• is appropriate in every context;
• reflects every regional variation;
• replaces instruction from a qualified ASL educator; or
• should be treated as the only accepted way to express a particular concept.

Language evolves, usage differs, and context matters.

If you notice an entry that you believe requires review, we welcome thoughtful feedback.

Please also remember that the Picture Dictionary’s protected images, original materials, and other copyrighted content are subject to our Terms of Use and Copyright / DMCA Policy.

6. Fingerspelling Tools and Generators

ASLTyping may provide tools that convert letters, names, words, or phrases into fingerspelling-related visual outputs.

These tools are intended primarily for learning, practice, visualization, and creative use.

A generated result should not automatically be interpreted as:

• a full ASL translation;
• natural ASL grammar;
• professional interpreting;
• a substitute for contextual language knowledge; or
• confirmation that a phrase would naturally be expressed that way by an ASL user.

Fingerspelling and ASL translation are not the same thing.

Please keep this distinction in mind when using our tools.

7. ASL Gloss and Grammar Tools

Where ASLTyping provides tools or resources related to ASL gloss, grammar, sentence structure, or translation-style assistance, the results should be treated as learning aids, not authoritative linguistic judgments.

Language is highly contextual.

An automated or rule-based tool may not understand every:

• grammatical nuance;
• cultural context;
• facial expression;
• non-manual marker;
• spatial relationship;
• regional variation;
• idiomatic expression; or
• intended meaning.

Automated results may therefore require human review.

For academic, professional, accessibility-critical, interpreting, or other important use, please verify the result with an appropriately qualified person or reliable authoritative resource.

8. Games, Quizzes and Scores

Our games, quizzes, and interactive activities are intended to make learning and practice more enjoyable.

Unless we explicitly state otherwise, a score, level, leaderboard position, badge, result, or achievement on ASLTyping is not a professional assessment or certification of ASL proficiency.

Doing well in a game can be encouraging—and we hope it is—but it should not be interpreted as formal proof of language proficiency.

Likewise, a low score does not define someone’s ability or potential.

Games are there to help you practice.

9. AI, Automation and Technology

ASLTyping may use programming, automation, algorithms, or other technologies to operate certain tools and features.

Technology can be helpful.

It can also make mistakes.

Automated outputs may occasionally be incomplete, inaccurate, unexpected, or unsuitable for a particular context.

You should review important generated content before relying on, publishing, printing, distributing, teaching from, or commercially using it.

Where human expertise is important, technology should support—not replace—appropriate human judgment.

10. Educational Materials

ASLTyping may provide or link to educational materials such as:

• guides;
• worksheets;
• workbooks;
• activities;
• downloadable resources;
• learning pages;
• visual materials;
• practice exercises; and
• other educational content.

These resources are intended to support learning.

Individual teachers, schools, parents, guardians, and learners remain responsible for determining whether a particular resource is appropriate for their educational setting, learning level, age group, curriculum, or individual needs.

11. Information for Parents, Guardians and Children

Some ASLTyping resources may be useful for children, parents, families, or educators.

However, describing a resource as child-friendly or educational does not mean that it will be appropriate for every child or every learning situation.

Parents, guardians, and educators should use their own judgment when selecting online resources for children and supervise children’s internet use where appropriate.

ASLTyping does not replace individualized educational, developmental, accessibility, medical, or professional guidance.

12. Career, Job and Opportunity Information

As ASLTyping grows, we may publish information relating to careers, jobs, skills, educational opportunities, services, or other professional possibilities.

Such information is intended to help people explore possibilities.

We do not guarantee:

• employment;
• acceptance into a program;
• career advancement;
• a particular salary;
• professional certification;
• business success; or
• any particular result.

Job markets, eligibility requirements, qualifications, laws, salaries, and opportunities can change.

Always verify important information directly with the relevant employer, organization, educational institution, licensing body, government authority, or other responsible source before making a decision.

13. Earnings and Commercial-Use Disclaimer

We believe creative skills and digital tools can sometimes help people discover new opportunities.

Some ASLTyping tools may permit users to create materials that can be used for certain lawful personal, educational, creative, or commercial purposes, depending on the specific tool and applicable terms.

However, ASLTyping does not promise or guarantee that using our tools will generate income.

Examples or discussions of:

• freelancing;
• digital content creation;
• social media;
• websites;
• printing;
• creative products;
• online business; or
• other earning possibilities

are provided as ideas or educational information—not as income guarantees.

Your results depend on many factors outside our control.

You are responsible for determining whether your intended activity is lawful, commercially appropriate, and consistent with the applicable licenses, intellectual property rights, tax rules, platform policies, and ASLTyping Terms of Use.

14. No Guarantee of Results

People learn differently.

Someone may find a particular tool extremely helpful while another person may prefer a different learning method.

We therefore cannot guarantee that using ASLTyping will result in:

• ASL fluency;
• improved grades;
• certification;
• professional qualification;
• employment;
• income;
• business success;
• admission to a program; or
• any other specific outcome.

We hope our resources help.

But your progress and results depend on many factors beyond our control.

15. Legal and Rights-Related Information

ASLTyping may eventually publish general information about accessibility, rights, laws, policies, or related topics.

Such information is provided for general educational purposes.

It is not legal advice.

Laws and policies can differ by country, state, province, institution, and individual circumstances, and they may change over time.

For a legal matter or an important rights-related decision, consult an appropriately qualified professional or relevant official authority.

16. Health and Medical Information

ASLTyping is not a healthcare provider.

Any general information that may touch on hearing, hearing loss, communication, accessibility, development, or related health topics is provided for general informational purposes only.

It should not be used to diagnose, treat, prevent, or manage a medical condition.

For health concerns, please consult an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

17. External Links

ASLTyping may link to third-party websites and resources because we believe they may be relevant or useful.

However, we do not control independent third-party websites.

External content may change after we link to it.

We therefore cannot guarantee the accuracy, availability, security, accessibility, privacy practices, or continued quality of every external resource.

Visiting an external website is your decision and is subject to that website’s own policies and terms.

18. Affiliate Links

ASLTyping may use affiliate links now or in the future, including links to relevant books, educational materials, products, or services.

If you make a qualifying purchase through certain affiliate links, ASLTyping may receive a commission or other compensation.

That relationship does not automatically mean a product is appropriate for every visitor.

Affiliate compensation does not change your responsibility to evaluate a product or service before purchasing it.

Where appropriate, affiliate relationships will be disclosed.

Please see our Affiliate Disclosure for more information.

19. Advertising Disclaimer

ASLTyping may display third-party advertisements, including advertisements served through advertising platforms such as Google AdSense.

Advertisements are generally supplied by third parties.

Unless we clearly state otherwise, the appearance of an advertisement on ASLTyping does not mean that our founder or team personally recommends, verifies, guarantees, or endorses the advertised product, company, service, or claim.

We are not responsible for independent advertisers’ products, websites, customer service, claims, transactions, or privacy practices.

Please review our Advertising Policy for more information.

20. Sponsored Content and Partnerships

From time to time, ASLTyping may work with sponsors, partners, collaborators, organizations, or other third parties.

Where content is sponsored or a material relationship exists, we aim to identify that relationship appropriately.

Sponsorship should not be confused with independent educational content.

A sponsor or partner is responsible for its own products, services, representations, and business practices.

21. Testimonials, Examples and Success Stories

If ASLTyping publishes testimonials, examples, case studies, user experiences, or success stories, they represent individual experiences.

They should not be interpreted as a promise that every user will achieve the same result.

Individual circumstances differ.

22. Downloads and Files

We may make files available for download.

Although we aim to maintain our website responsibly, no online file distribution system can promise absolute technical safety or compatibility with every device.

You are responsible for using appropriate security software, maintaining backups where necessary, and determining whether a file is compatible with your device or intended use.

Usage rights for downloaded content may also be subject to separate copyright or licensing conditions.

23. Website Availability

We work to keep ASLTyping accessible and functioning properly.

However, we cannot guarantee that the website, a particular tool, account feature, game, download, or resource will always be available without interruption.

Maintenance, upgrades, technical failures, hosting issues, security concerns, third-party outages, or other circumstances may temporarily affect availability.

We may also update, redesign, replace, limit, or discontinue features as ASLTyping develops.

24. Accuracy and Timeliness

We make reasonable efforts to publish useful information, but online information can become outdated.

This is especially important for topics such as:

• careers;
• job opportunities;
• laws and policies;
• services;
• events;
• external resources;
• prices;
• product information;
• third-party programs; and
• technology.

Before making an important decision, please check the publication or update date where available and verify current information with the relevant authoritative source.

25. Your Responsibility

Ultimately, you are responsible for how you use ASLTyping.

Please use reasonable judgment.

If information is important enough to affect your health, legal rights, education, career, finances, accessibility arrangements, professional work, or another significant decision, verify it before relying on it.

If a generated result will be published, sold, printed, taught, distributed, or used professionally, review it carefully first.

ASLTyping is here to support your learning and creativity—not to replace your judgment.

26. Limitation of Responsibility

To the extent permitted by applicable law, ASLTyping, its founder, team members, contributors, and people involved in operating the website are not responsible for losses or damages resulting solely from reliance on general information, automated outputs, third-party resources, advertisements, affiliate products, or inappropriate use of the website.

Nothing in this Disclaimer is intended to exclude or limit rights or liabilities that cannot lawfully be excluded.

For additional contractual information, please review our Terms of Use.

27. Copyright and Intellectual Property

The presence of material on ASLTyping does not automatically mean that it is free to copy, redistribute, republish, scrape, sell, or incorporate into another product.

This is particularly important for protected content associated with our ASL Picture Dictionary.

Different tools and resources may have different permissions.

Please review our Terms of Use and Copyright / DMCA Policy before reproducing or commercially using ASLTyping materials.

28. Changes to This Disclaimer

ASLTyping is growing.

As we introduce new tools, content, technologies, advertising relationships, affiliate programs, partnerships, or other features, this Disclaimer may need to change.

We may update it from time to time.

When we do, we will update the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.

We encourage visitors to review this page periodically.

30. Have You Found Something We Should Review?

We want ASLTyping to improve.

If you believe an educational explanation, ASL-related resource, dictionary entry, tool output, or other piece of content contains an error or needs clarification, please contact us through our Contact page.

When possible, tell us:

• which page or tool you were using;
• what you believe should be reviewed; and
• any reliable source or explanation that may help us understand the issue.

Our team will review constructive feedback as carefully as we reasonably can.

We may not agree with every suggestion, but we are always willing to learn.

A Personal Note from Our Founder

Before you leave this page, I would like to say something personally.

I created ASLTyping because I believed the technology and digital skills I had developed over many years could be used to build something useful for other people.

I did not begin this journey by claiming to know everything about ASL.

I still don’t.

I am learning too, and so is our team.

That is why this Disclaimer is important to me. I would rather be honest about what we know, what technology can do, and where its limitations are than give someone a false sense of certainty.

We will try to do good work.

We will try to use reliable information.

We will try to improve our tools.

And when we make a genuine mistake, we will try to correct it.

If you ever see something that deserves our attention, please tell us respectfully. Your feedback may help make the experience better for the next person who visits.

To everyone who learns with us, uses our tools, sends us feedback, supports our work, or simply spends a few minutes exploring ASLTyping—

thank you.

Your trust matters to me and to our entire team.

And as we continue this journey, I have one personal request:

Please keep me, our team, and ASLTyping in your prayers and good wishes.

May we have the wisdom to know when we need to learn, the humility to correct ourselves when we are wrong, and the opportunity to use technology in ways that genuinely benefit people.

 

Thank you for being part of our journey.

With gratitude and warm wishes,
Founder, ASLTyping
On behalf of the entire ASLTyping team
