Takatsuki City is launching 'Shuwa Link' on April 1, 2026, to improve accessibility for individuals who use sign language. Users can connect to sign language interpreter operators through a banner on the city's website using smartphones or PCs. The interpreters translate sign language into voice for city staff and vice versa, enabling seamless real-time communication. This is the first initiative of its kind in the Hokusetsu region.
