I have seen them with simple math problems to solve.

In this case, "they" is Microsoft.  They are willing to listen to suggestions, but no one knows how much work they're actually willing to do. On the other hand, if they do listen, it could be great for many more people than just my hospital.

The only solution I've heard about that would work for deaf-blind people is some kind of story problem.  I remember someone discussing that here...John?

Nancy,
You mean they show a picture of a bird, and play a bird sound?  If you said cardinal instead of bird, would it still work? Interesting.
