The UAE Government provides additional channels for communicating with the people of determination. Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority, Ministry of Climate Change and Environment, Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation and Ministry of Community Development (MoCD) are amongst some of the entities that offer support in the form of a video in which an animated character communicates with the user in sign language. When the user rests the tip of his mouse on a certain text, the character in the video translates that text in the sign language.
In addition, people of determination can send their queries to MoCD by recording a video and asking questions in the sign language.
This portal and many other government websites use text-to-speech facility. Users just need to select text and a software will read it out aloud.
