AMMAN, Jordan, September 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The region's largest provider of human capital information systems - MenaITech along with Mind Rockets Inc., a Jordan-based startup creating assistive technologies, developed a solution for deaf and hard of hearing employees. Through this collaboration, MenaITech users can have access to a virtual sign-language interpreter that translates on-screen content to sign language.

The system translates text on MenaITech's website and MenaME® platform - the employee and manager self-service gateway, to sign language for users who are deaf or hard of hearing, which allows users to access HR services such as leave and vacation requests, attendance and departure records, salary-slips and can easily manage their HR functions from anywhere in the world. MenaITech is the first HCIS company in the region to provide this feature to its clients and the general public.
