Please show me where I said that she was not deaf? I said that VP are designed for sign language users. True biz look on the Sorenson website. When you fill out the application it says "Please note that the free Sorenson videophone is available for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals who primarily use American Sign Language (ASL) to communicate." So that is why I said they are for sign language users. I didn't say the OP shouldn't use one, I just meant they are not designed for lip reading. Maybe in future we will have better technology like 3-D technology and lip reading will be easier then. But right now VP-200 is not designed for lip reading, it is designed for sign language. She does not sign, so I was wondering why she requested a VP from Sorenson and then she complains that the VI isn't mouthing complete words...did she even tell the VI that she is trying to lipread them?
So please
read my post completely before you assume the wrong thing...you never seem to pay attention to what I say, you just jump to conclusions. If you
read it again you will see what I said the first time...thank you!
