Telecoms open up for deaf people

Two new products developed in the UK will give deaf or hearing impaired people better access to meetings and phone calls. The BBC reports.

"Bedfordshire company Teletec will soon start new services using internet devices and voice recognition technology.

And the Royal National Institute for Deaf people (RNID) is launching the ScreenPhone.

Both products turn voice calls or meetings into text and are aimed at deaf people who prefer to speak."
