Performance Interpreting For Event Organisers
Introducing the PI Events App

Your BSL & ISL audiences
now have their own
dedicated app.

Your Deaf audiences want to attend. The barrier is rarely availability. It's discovering what's on, knowing how to ask and arriving with confidence. The PI Events App removes each of those friction points for them. Free to download, no sign-up required, nothing for your team to manage.

Free No sign-up required iOS & Android BSL & ISL

Find & Get Notified

Your audiences no longer need to trawl venue websites or call your box office. They browse 180+ events with confirmed BSL or ISL and get notified the moment you add a new one.

Request an Interpreter

Many of your Deaf customers have never requested an interpreter before. The app guides them through it and generates the message for them, reducing the friction that stops people asking.

Rights & At-Event Tools

Your audiences arrive better prepared. Plain-English rights information and communication cards that work the moment they walk through your doors. No wi-fi required.

What your audiences get

Built around the barriers that stop your audiences going.

Your Deaf customers want to attend. The friction is rarely about availability. It's about discovery, the ask and arriving with confidence. Not knowing your event is accessible. Not knowing how to request an interpreter. Finding out too late. The app handles each of those moments for them, so more of your audience actually shows up.

Find Events with BSL & ISL

Before this, finding an accessible event meant trawling venue websites, calling box offices, or booking a ticket and hoping for the best. The app only shows events where BSL or ISL is confirmed or available on request and push notifications alert audiences the moment a new event is added, so they find out early. Not after it sells out.

Request interpreter screen
Request an Interpreter: Guided

For many Deaf people, requesting an interpreter is something they've never done. Who do you contact? What do you say? Will they take it seriously? The app removes all of that. Choose the event, describe your needs and it generates a professional request ready to send. No drafting, no uncertainty, no phone calls.

Support screen
At-Event Support Tools

Even with an interpreter confirmed, arriving somewhere new can bring its own anxiety, particularly at the bar, the box office, or in an emergency. A one-tap "Show This to Staff" card handles the moment without writing or signing. Speech-to-text captures what's being said in real time. Everything works offline, no wi-fi needed.

Know Your Rights screen
Know Your Rights & BSL/ISL Guides

Many Deaf people don't ask for access because they don't know they're entitled to it, or they've been turned down before and assume that's normal. The app explains rights plainly, without legal jargon, alongside a full library of BSL and ISL video guides covering how to book, how to request an interpreter and what to do if a venue says no.

Your Deaf audiences can record and submit video feedback in BSL or ISL directly through the app. Their words, in their language, reaching you directly.

Volunteer screen
Volunteering at events

Deaf community members can sign up to volunteer at your events. Builds community, creates pathways into the arts and deepens the relationship between your organisation and your audiences.

Deafblind accessibility screen
Deaf and Deafblind accessibility

On first launch the app asks how the user would like to experience it. Deafblind mode enables high contrast, large text and tactile-friendly UI, built for the full community, not just BSL users.

See it in action: Order Food & Drink
Order food and drink without saying a word.

For Deaf attendees, getting a drink at a busy bar often means awkward exchanges, repeated misunderstandings, or giving up. The app removes that friction completely.

🍟
Build your order in a few taps
Choose from cold drinks, hot drinks and food. Tap a category, pick the option and it is added to your order. No conversation needed.
📋
Show the card to staff
One tap creates a clear order card on screen. The attendee shows it to the person at the bar. No writing, no miming, no stress.
👋
Part of the At Event toolkit
Sits alongside the Show This to Staff card, speech-to-text and emergency cards. Everything a Deaf attendee needs, offline, in one place.
💡
Venues do not need to change a thing
The tool lives in the attendee's hands. They feel more confident. Staff feel less awkward. A small thing that makes a real difference on the night.

If they don't ask, you won't know they wanted to come.

Most Deaf people have never requested an interpreter for a live event. Not because they don't want to attend, but because the process feels unclear and the outcome uncertain. That silence reads as a lack of interest. It isn't. The app walks them through a request in a few taps and generates a professional message ready to send. When asking becomes easy, more people ask. And you get a clearer picture of real demand.
