"In addition to equipping me with new skills in ASL data collection and processing, We Hear You fostered a healthy work environment where I felt welcomed and valued. Their commitment to improving the lives of people with disabilities is truly inspiring, and it's remarkable to see how dedicated they are to achieving that mission." -Maurice Tetne Maurice Tetne, thank you so much for your commitment to making this world a more inclusive and accessible space! We have loved having you on the team and look forward to seeing the amazing things you do next! Image description: In the center is a portrait of a man, Maurice Tetne. The image of him is in black and white, set against a vibrant orange background. He is looking directly at the viewer with a serious yet thoughtful expression. Text in a sans-serif, light-grey font overlays the image, providing his academic credentials: Ph.D. Candidate, French Language & Literature, Graduate Certificate in Translation Studies, Department of Romance Languages & Literatures, Washington University in St. Louis. Below the portrait, in a slightly darker shade of grey than the text above, a quote appears: "Their commitment to improving the lives of people with disabilities is truly inspiring." The quote is set on an off-white background that is visually distinct from the orange and deep blue sections of the design. Abstract, brush-stroke-like marks in a dusty orange color are present at the top and bottom margins of the image, adding an artistic touch to the layout.

With our ASL work being acquired, we’re opening even more doors for accessibility and innovation as we rebrand!
About us
We Hear You (WHY) is developing innovative and creative solutions to persistent accessibility problems. The company started with a sign language translator aimed at bridging the communication gap between the deaf and the hearing communities. While one side of the WHY team focused on that project, we created Hands Free, Inc., a company dedicated to making life easier and more convenient for those with mobility challenges. Our products include RF remotes that open doors remotely, an app that opens doors using voice commands, and the new patent-pending Hands Free Door Opener, which can turn virtually any door into an automatic door. We are gradually making the world more equitable and inclusive for all.

🚀 Exciting News: 360 Sign AI is here! 🚀 At 360 Direct Video, we’re always looking for new ways to make sign language communication more inclusive and accessible. That’s why we’re excited to announce a major update: the launch of 360 Sign AI, following our acquisition of We Hear You, Inc, which adds a whole new vertical to our offerings! This AI-driven sign language recognition technology is a game-changer. Now, ASL users can engage with voice-based systems and hearing-run businesses more easily than ever before. But this goes beyond technology—it's about ensuring the Deaf community is authentically represented while creating real-time, two-way communication for everyone. We’re excited to continue breaking down barriers with these new innovations! #SignLanguageAI #CustomerService #AI #DeafOwned #Direct #SignLanguage #Deaf

Order Up🫡 Fulfilling orders and shipping our products across the U.S. is a proud moment for We Hear You, Inc. These innovations are built to redefine how we think about accessibility, creating spaces where inclusivity is not an afterthought but a priority. Each shipment brings us closer to a future where accessibility is embedded into the infrastructure of everything we do. It’s more than just a product—it’s a movement toward a more inclusive world. Take a moment to appreciate the accessible inventions that you enjoy everyday, liked closed captioning, curb cuts, and of course— automatic doors. Thank you so much to Tyler Richards at uFab and Mark for their quick turnaround on manufacturing and above and beyond service! *Don’t worry y’all, the fob in Pierre’s mouth is his personal fob that is not being shipped 😅🤣 #wehearyou #accessibility #assistivetechnology #weopendoors
