Mobile phone for the deaf from Vodafone
This has always touched me, how texting is such a wonderful tool for anyone who is deaf or hearing impaired. People with these disabilities are truly the segment of the population most needy of this technology and it has made such a difference in their lives. For anyone who is interested, I've posted in this special section in textually, every thing I have ever come across on this subject.
Today there is an article in InfoSync World on a mobile phone just launched, which allows deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired people to hold real-time, interactive conversations whilst on the move.
"The new mobile textphone (a Nokia 9210i), marketed by Vodafone, allows two people to communicate by phone using text in real time. The textphone has a keyboard and display screen, and instead of speaking into a mouthpiece the user can type what they want to say and read the reply from the screen.
A deaf person can communicate with a hearing person using any ordinary landline or mobile with the help of RNID Typetalk".
