RE: [Braillenote] waterproof the BN

Yes, I just realized why a braille note with speech would be handy for a 
deafblind person. There used to be something which I think was called a 
teletype, and I think that it was a querty keyboard with a braille display, 
and I believe the way it worked was that, both sighted and blind people 
would type what they wanted to say, and the blind person  would read the 
braille. Now for any of you who know about this gadget, did it have a 
screen so that the sighted person could see what the blind person was 
typing? If so, what would happen if a deafblind person, and another blind 
person who could hear, but didn't use braille, were trying to communicate? 
So here's where braille note with speech, and probably the qwerty board 
would be so handy. Am I right in my thinking?
By is the teletype still around, or has it gone the way of the dodo bird?
