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. Den 17 Dec 2013 kl. 18:44 skrev Raul A.
