Employees of the information zones at railway stations in Kyiv, Lviv, Vinnytsia, Dnipro, Odesa, Kharkiv, Uzhhorod, Zaporizhzhia, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Chernivtsi are already using tablets with a specialized application.

It provides round-the-clock access to sign language interpreters, which guarantees free communication for passengers with hearing impairments.

The app allows railroad employees to call a sign language interpreter as soon as the need arises. Communication takes place via video: the employee speaks, and the interpreter immediately translates it into sign language; when a passenger with a hearing impairment speaks, the interpreter speaks with his or her voice.
