All Spoken Here Campaign Launches
Pocketalk launched
their #AllSpokenHere campaign in January, with the goal of
connecting people from diverse linguistic backgrounds, promoting a
world of inclusivity and seamless interaction. The campaign
introduced distinctive badges – both physical and digital – for
organizations to display that their services are accessible to
speakers of all languages. These badges are not merely symbols;
they are invitations to engage, learn, and connect.
As more organizations begin to understand the importance of
language inclusivity, many are turning to Pocketalk to become more
accessible. This quarter saw many significant government
organizations and schools join the campaign to remove language
barriers for non-English speakers in the US, including a deal worth
$1 Million with Paterson City School District in New Jersey.
The City of Denver will be
using Pocketalk devices in their primary elections this summer to
increase voting access for non-English speakers in Denver, per a recent announcement from
the Denver Clerk and Recorder.
The most notable organization that has adopted Pocketalk in the
first quarter is the Transportation Security Administration (TSA),
which is currently running a trial of Pocketalk devices in ten
airports across the country, including Philadelphia Airport and
John F. Kennedy Airport in New York
City.
