Hrm ... interesting thought. I know next to nothing about deaf communications (I know much more about blind communications ...) although, I seem to recall that many VoIP solutions allow for TTY as well.

This might be even a better solution. > - Tony Rudié Just thinking, -dkap > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf > Of Internaut at Large > Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2010 11:23 AM > To: [email protected] > Cc: [email protected]; [email protected] > Subject: Re: [BBLISA] A summary: emergency pagers > > Greetings, > > Something occurred to me in reading this. > > Is there any reason why we can't use text-to-speech?
