Another possibility would be if someone at RIT or Gallaudet that is working with software design could show them how to do it. Then release the language pack as a class project using a Open license for anyone that already has the RS client. Also send it to RS themselves to show them how to do...

Same for me. I just am now facing the facts that my hearing is going out, and I got signed up for skype and P3 (the 2 I heard the best reviews for), but realized that none of my fiends even have webcams. None of them have skype, and they are all hearing. I can still use my cell phone (by...

Well, I have to say I am lucky that I have no issue with clocks (other then hitting the snooze too many times). I have no issues with analog (ones with the hands), digital (my morning alarm clock) or Binary (my inner geek is showing here). For me, it is more of issues locking my vision onto...

http://www.engineersedge.com/technology_news/posts/980.html Engineers Edge - Perception: Three PhD candidates have spent the last few years at TU Delft simultaneously working on sign language. One of these is Jeroen Arendsen: “Very little is known about the perception of sign language. The...

Man, I love Google. After posting that last post with Dogmom’s husband, I thought that maybe on another site I could find something about deaf engineers. Well, that search lead me to deafhhcareer.com and that site had a posting from someone that is deaf and in each of my end goal careers...

I am, it is just that I will be starting classes soon, and when making a roadmap to get the degree I want, I was just wanting to know before I start if I need to change directions. This is in effect what I want to prevent from hitting. It is not that I don’t love the challenge, hell; if I...

Sweet, I will have to check into that, I have the results from my hearing test. This is exactly what I was worried about, if my field of study will be issue for when (not really a if looking at my parents, but when) my hearing gets worse. For now, yes, I am just under the normal hearing...

You know, as I was sitting on a plane waiting to fly out to Phoenix to train some co-workers, I happened to look down at three guys that load/unload luggage. As I watched these three guys attempt to yell over the ear plugs that they are forced to wear, I thought to myself “wow, I wonder why...

Hum, With starting classes, I am going to check into this. Class enrollment has just started, but I am waiting for a transcript from my college classes I took 10 years ago to be transfered to the school. I think I will use this time to check into my local Voc.Rehab. As for taking classes...

I am learning Sign, and have found that I learn faster if I can see a sign in use the the static pictures of some sites and or books. I started with signing times since it was the only name I had heard of in videos showing the use of sign, but now that I am starting to look at the grammar of...

Thanks RonJaxon, I am late HoH as well, but at the slide going down at this point. I still can keep up with a one-on-one, but in groups, I know exactly how you feel about losing the conversation.. I know from other family members it is going to go down, but at what rate is unknown. This gives...

Wow!.. way to go Phi4Sius!.. I personally like to follow the debt free mindset. Once you are out, DON'T go back.. Sadly, I had to for a bit, and will be for a few more years. about two years ago, I was living debt free with only my monthly bills. Drawback is that I had to get credit going...

That is great to hear Dogmom. Right now, the only persons I know that are HoH is my family (no help there). I have been "cracking out" on Signing times and the net, but without anyone that knows ASL yet. I have asked around but nobody seems to know anyone else in the neighborhood that is HoH...

My expectation is more of a merging of languages. Much like how the English language has incorporated elements of other languages that express things that are missing from it's own. I think we will see a point that verbal and gesture languages will mix to form a unified form of communication...

I will have to check into this. Right now, my employer is fighting me on getting medical coverage so i am thinking about just paying for it on my own. Drawback to private insurance right now is that they do not cover nearly as much as the group ones do. I should know in a few days to a few...

Got my audiogram today, Light to Moderate with very little loss in speech recognition is the results. He deferred me to a ENT to look into why I am having random dropouts in sound, and a check back in a year or if things get worse. I am below the normal hearing levels, but not to the severe...

Well, without any replies I got a Logitech Quickcam Pro 9000 for use with skype.. hope it does well.

Now, I wonder. The skype, on that video, you had a good amount of motion blur on the PC yet, little to none on the stand alone. If the stand alone is IP based as it is said in the video, he has the bandwidth to handle smooth video yet the skype is choppy. My questions on this would be, does...

Ok, I am thinking about getting a webcam for my system to start vchats to practice my sign. I was wondering if anyone has found and tested a good webcam that is really stable?.. After watching some of the Youtube video's, you can tell some have a really good looking, stable (as in lacking...

Thanks to the suggestion of Bottesini in the general chat (as well as a few here). :ty: After about 2-3 pages of junk links on google, I found KC American Sign Language (Kansas City, MO) - Meetup.com . It is a small group that is starting up near where I live. It seems good for starters like...
