When this happens, these relay operators will be laid off!
It might happen someday, but STILL too early because, in order to enable voice recongization, it must be programmed by each person because no two person have same voice pattern or whatever it called. That is the problem! And right now, there is nothing that would fit in the size of sidekick.
The best thing for her is to learn sign language, it is nothing wrong with it.

My MIL , who lives with us, lost all of her hearing about a year and a half ago from nerve damage and she is still uneasy about learning sign. She has a cell phone and we taught her to use text mess. which is her life line to us and the rest of the world. Right now, we write everything on paper for her for any conversations and she is so worried that this is a burden for others, so has resorted to being a shut in, even tho we have tried our best to take her on trips and get her out again.
To make things less worrisome for her, we have been researching for a device, about as big as a cell, that will print out what people say to her, something that knows voice recongnition, that she can carry with her in her purse. All I have found is software for computers, or lap pads, and they are just too big for her to lug around.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanx
