Deaf Perspectives.

What the community is watching, discussing, and creating — plus stories, opinions, and voices from Deaf and Hard of Hearing people worldwide.

Community Voices

Stories, opinions, and perspectives from the Deaf community — in their own words.

Meet Moni, DeafMonitor's built-in AI assistant. Ask anything about the Deaf world — news, history, ASL, events, jobs — and Moni answers in plain language with linked sources from DeafMonitor's own archive, wiki, and library. It's included with every account, free to start: look for the glowing Ask Moni button at the top of any page.

Every Deaf game, every score, finally in one place. Meet DeafMonitor Huddle — the app we're building for Deaf sports. Deaf sports have always run on community. Huddle is the scoreboard that runs on it too — built so the score on your phone matches the score in the gym, no matter how rough the connection. And it stays free for every Deaf sports org. Not for now — always. Huddle is coming to the App Store soon.

In the last few weeks, DeafMonitor has launched Wiki and For New Parents (Early Intervention) pages. DeafMonitor's Wiki has the same logic as Wikipedia's - where users can go in and edit. Take a look and expand it wherever possible!

Fifteen years of GAAD. One choice we made early: every video on DeafMonitor ships with captions on, visible on the first frame. Not behind a CC button. Not "available if you ask." Open by default. That should be the floor for any accessibility-first platform.

18 days since launch and you showed up — 69 members, 1,198 stories, 58 open jobs, 825+ Deaf-owned businesses, 16K+ library sources. Four new pages just shipped: Advocacy, Handspace, AI Forum, Statistics. Shop is next. What should we build after that?

The DeafMonitor's library now has close to 17,000 resources on the shelves. Browse and let us know if you'd like to add features to it. If you don't see your thesis or research paper thats of deaf relevance, feel free to submit!

We just launched Handspace, a place where the community can upload their vlogs. A signing-first video feed. You can find Handspace under the Community tab at the top of the page. Enjoy!

Today is a big day! Thank you for being here.
