Airports & Terminals
The single most language-dense venue in modern life — and the one where the 90-second window before the next passenger is most brutal. Boarding-pass scanner (BCBP → Vision OCR → Smart Paste → manual), universal "translate any sign" tile, customs declaration depth, ACAA overlay on the airline side.
Real production tiles. Pulled from the BDL pilot.
Drawn from the live kiosk-airport-stages module. These are the labels passengers actually tap.
Built for the Ukrainian grandmother at customs.
Boarding-pass scanner (BCBP → OCR → Smart Paste → manual)
The patron's flight info loads automatically. Conversation is about the question, not the inputs. Vision OCR is the iOS Safari fallback when BCBP parse fails.
Translate any airport sign
Point the camera at any signage — gate, customs, baggage. The patron sees it in their language in 2 seconds. Cross-vertical universal tile, also lives in banks and town halls.
International arrivals depth
Customs declaration, immigration secondary, refugee/asylum routing where applicable. The most-language-mixed surface in modern travel, finally with a coherent communication device.
ACAA overlay on the airline side
The Air Carrier Access Act runs in parallel with Title II/III. Airport-operated counters face Title II; airline counters face ACAA. TinkyTown covers both surfaces with one deployment.
Three statutes on every gate, every counter
An airport is the rare venue where federal disability law layers three statutes on the same physical space. TinkyTown is designed for that layering, not retrofitted into it.
- ADA Title II — the public entity operating the airport (port authority, municipal airport authority).
- ADA Title III — the concessions, restaurants, retail, and lounges inside the terminal.
- Air Carrier Access Act + 14 CFR Part 382 — the airlines themselves, gate desks, jet bridges, in-flight communication.
- 120+ languages, bilateral — international arrivals are the highest-LEP surface in modern life.
