SignPrep

SignPrep is the essential companion app for sign language interpreters. It supports your workflow before, during, and after every assignment — so you can prepare, coordinate, reflect, and care for your well-being. ASSIGNMENTS Import from work calendars with smart filtering, or add jobs with a Calendar-style editor. Each assignment shows a live countdown, one-tap directions, an AI pre-briefing when it’s within two hours or ongoing, and an on-device AI preparation checklist. ONGOING ASSIGNMENT A focused live-session page designed to stay open through an assignment. See assignment progress, timing state, active interpreter, next swap, and time remaining at a glance. Ambient Mode gives you and your co-interpreter a calm full-screen view for tracking swaps without breaking focus. SWAP TIMER & SWAP CLOCK Coordinate interpreter rotation your way. Use Swap Timer for structured intervals with Running, Swap Soon, and Swap Now phases, or Swap Clock for flexible turn-taking based on the actual clock. Both support A/B interpreter roles, clear swap actions, and glanceable Ambient Mode layouts. APPLE WATCH View assignments and timing state on your wrist. Start or control swap timing from either device — they stay in sync. Manual refresh, complications, and Smart Stack cards help show what’s next, what’s ongoing, or when there’s no active assignment. WIDGETS, LIVE ACTIVITIES & CONTROLS Home Screen widgets show a greeting, upcoming assignments, and CPD progress. Lock Screen widgets display countdown-style information. One-tap widgets support New Sign, Reflect, and Log CPD. Live Activities and Dynamic Island keep you updated during assignments and timing sessions. SIRI & SHORTCUTS Ask “What’s my next assignment?”, “What’s my day like?”, or “What’s my swap timer status?”. Start, pause, stop, mute, adjust timing, open Ambient Mode, log CPD, add a sign, or capture a reflection hands-free. AI PREPARATION On-device Apple Foundation Models generate topic research, vocabulary suggestions, briefings, and prep checklists tailored to each assignment — no data leaves your phone. SIGN GLOSSARY Build a searchable video library of signs. Record clips, tag by domain and sign language, review in slow motion, share entries with video and details, or export and import your glossary as a SignPrep package. Supports multiple sign languages including SgSL, ASL, BSL, Auslan, and NZSL. DC-S REFLECTIONS Use structured Demand-Control Schema prompts for environmental, interpersonal, paralinguistic, and intrapersonal demands. Track reflection streaks, flag entries for mentor discussion, and export reflections as PDF or CSV. CPD TRACKING Log continuing professional development hours by activity type. Use country-specific defaults for RID, NRCPD, and NAATI, or turn CPD off if it’s not part of your practice. Set a target and renewal period; SignPrep tracks your pace with cards, widgets, Watch support, and alerts. SELF-CARE Log mood, fatigue, and cognitive load. View trends, follow guided breathing and interpreter-specific stretches, and get self-care suggestions that support recovery and readiness. PRIVACY & SECURITY Protect local professional data with App Lock, Face ID and Touch ID support, protected app-switcher previews, local access logging, and an option to exclude SignPrep data from iCloud backups. RESOURCES Explore an interactive Code of Professional Conduct, customisable role cards for hearing clients, and region-specific links to interpreter associations and Deaf community organisations. ACCESSIBLE BY DESIGN VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, high-contrast colours, Reduce Motion support, large touch targets, and haptic feedback throughout. Spotlight indexes glossary and assignments, with privacy-aware behaviour when App Lock is enabled. Designed for iOS 26 with Liquid Glass.
