The problem is, most people are not quick enough braille readers to benefit from a system like this. Also, this assumes the person's first language is a written language-- eg English. I also am Deafblind and use interpreters. There are voiceover interpreters for Deafblind who are hard of hearing, and then sign language-- ASL, or another manual coded forms of English available. Good luck! <br><br><div id="AppleMailSignature"> Rox and the kitchen Bitches: <div>Laveau, Soleil</div><div><a href="mailto:Pawpower4me@gmail.com">Pawpower4me@gmail.com</a></div><div>Sent from my iPhone</div></div><div><br>On Apr 3, 2018, at 3:50 PM, Danielle Burton via NFB-DB <<a href="mailto:nfb-db@nfbnet.org">nfb-db@nfbnet.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div>Hi Louis, these are very good questions. I personally have not found these methods to be particularly great. I guess if everyone is tech savvy enough to figure it out it might work but then what if the technology fails then the DeafBlind wouldn't have that access. The best access is really through interpreters. Maybe someone else on this list might know how this works but as a DeafBlind person myself I wouldn't like fighting with the technology of that sort. Just my opinion. <br><br><div style="direction: inherit;">Danielle Burton, Secretary National Federation of the Blind DeafBlind Division </div><div style="direction: inherit;">Email: <a href="mailto:danielleburton94@gmail.com">danielleburton94@gmail.com</a></div><div style="direction: inherit;">Phone: 859-469-6260 </div></div><div><br>On Apr 3, 2018, at 4:43 PM, Louis Maher via NFB-DB <<a href="mailto:nfb-db@nfbnet.org">nfb-db@nfbnet.org</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>Hello,</span><br><span></span><br><span>I am looking for a method to help the deaf-blind participate in meetings.</span><br><span></span><br><span>It has been proposed to have a person type the speakers words in real time and send the written speech output to linked computers using Braille displays.</span><br><span></span><br><span>I am not sure how to do this.</span><br><span></span><br><span>I believe that Bluetooth can connect several computers at a time; however, I am unsure how to have the deaf-blind see the output of one</span><br><span>Typist using a bluetooth system.</span><br><span></span><br><span>It has been suggested that I I Use Collaboration software such as </span><br><span>Microsoft teams, </span><br><span>Slack, </span><br><span>go to meeting, or skype for business.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Has anyone linked a system of computers to help the deaf-blind attend meetings?</span><br><span></span><br><span>Does anyone have an opinion on what the best software would be?</span><br><span></span><br><span>Thanks for your help.</span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>Regards</span><br><span>Louis Maher</span><br><span>Phone: 713-444-7838</span><br><span>E-mail <a href="mailto:ljmaher03@outlook.com">ljmaher03@outlook.com</a></span><br><span></span><br><span></span><br><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>NFB-DB mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:NFB-DB@nfbnet.org">NFB-DB@nfbnet.org</a></span><br><span><a href="http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfb-db_nfbnet.org">http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfb-db_nfbnet.org</a></span><br></div></blockquote></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>NFB-DB mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:NFB-DB@nfbnet.org">NFB-DB@nfbnet.org</a></span><br><span><a href="http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfb-db_nfbnet.org">http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfb-db_nfbnet.org</a></span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
