<div dir="ltr">Hi Robert!<div><br></div><div>So sorry we didn't catch up at Accessing Higher Ground!</div><div><br></div><div>For labs and tutoring sessions, we use either interpreters or TypeWell transcription to ensure that communication is clear and concise. (You know the problems of voice recognition and the trouble it can get a user into!) While a tutor and student could use two computers to communicate, using interpreters or transcription makes the process flow much better and more can actually be accomplished during the limited time they have together.<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>As for the dual computers for communication, you may be thinking of UbiDuo. But really just two netbooks with chat set up could serve the same purpose.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope you're doing well! </div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are looking for a communication system that can be used by an instructor or tutor to interact with a deaf student. We are using interpreters for class lectures, but would like to explore other options for lab/tutoring sessions. Does
anybody have any good system they would recommend?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would like to know if there are any mobile device apps that could be used for two-way text communication other than just texting. Also, we used to have a system that had two keyboards and displays. A person would sit on one side and
type their message to the other person and it would show on both displays. Unfortunately, none of us can remember what it was called. One colleague called it the Battleship system because it reminded her of playing the old game.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any suggestions would be appreciated.<u></u><u></u></p>
