Hi.
If your client has an IPad. He could speak to you via facetime, and you could
write back using imessage. Imessage is available on IPad.
I have used skype with braille not long ago, is it the last version of skype,
which gives the problems.
You could sign up to applebrai...@googlegroups.com, there are a number of
deafblind users there.
Best regards Annie.

I have a question about a client of mine who is deaf-blind. Let me describe
his communication first. He communicates using his voice for expression and
reads Braille for reception. He uses an iPad with a Braille display. he also
has a TTY system so when he makes phone calls out via a relay service, he
reads what the relay person types yet he can speak directly to the person he
is on the line with. The relay person then types what is said so he can read
it in Braille.
Now onto my question. Is there a way that we can do this similar type of
communication using the iPad? I was thinking of using Skype because it
offers both audio and text chat. meaning, that we can connect with Skype and
that way he can talk and I can hear him talk. When I want to say something to
him I write what I say and he reads it via the Skype chat text. The problem
is that the current version of Skype doesn't work well with Braille displays
in iOS 7. So, I'm not sure if relay services which use traditional landlines
have iOS solutions which do similar but over the Internet. Also, instead of
using Skype, I thought of perhaps using the Messages app and texting via
iMessage from his iPad to one of my own iOS devices. Then if possible doing a
facetime call so I can hear what he says. This seems like a cobbled solution
though and in case there are any apps specific for deaf-blind using some sort
of relay services I don't know of them. So, that's why I am writing here.
If there is another list I can ask about this, perhaps one more suited to
deaf-blind, please let me know as well.
Thank you.
