<p class=MsoPlainText>The UbiDuo is a device developed by a deaf man to allow
for communication with anyone, anywhere, anytime. The UbiDuo consists of two
keyboards and displays that allow for simultaneous communication between two
(or more) parties. This gives a deaf person the independence and freedom to
communicate with anyone. Many institutions are providing UbiDuo units for their
deaf employees or for departments on their campus to allow staff members to
communicate with hearing impaired clients and customers.<o:p></o:p></p>
