    I haven't had any experience with a hand held system of like Dragon. My deaf blind friend showed me a sort of 'two person tty' you can carry with you. I do not recall what it was called though but it allowed one person to type the message so it would show up on the screen or I think print like a...

    US Could Face a Hearing Loss Epidemic

    Suggestion of support groups is a great option. I have found with my anxiety that expression is a great way to relieve depression. I actually have found that signing is one way, for me at least, to relieve stress. the active motion of expressing oneself with the whole body just seems to be...

    CART, Captioners and Court Reporters

    I'm a curious person too. :) and I do not mind answering questions. I work for a state university and public community college. I would classify most of them as oral, yes. Many have very little to moderate hearing loss, use hearing aids, and speak with very little ''deaf accent." For some the...

    I looked at the website for this and am still unsure of the exact application of this. They listed ways to use it but it just seemed a bit vague to me. It sounds similar to the Dragon Naturally Speaking software. I have worked with this program and it is quite useful. However it takes a bit of...

    Do cats like igloo shaped cat bed?

    In personal experience and observation of my family/friend's cats the attachment to a kitty parent does become stronger as they age. They are more insistent about pushing things out of your lap or laying on top of them. They also tend to become more vocal as they get older. My cat over 13...

    No Answer Phone Calls

    I got one of these the other day. It is very irritating! I have T-mobile though... I hope it does not become a regular thing. Does the 'do not call' list apply to texting I wonder. I hope so, I'm going to put my number on there again, not sure if I did so with the new one.

    US Could Face a Hearing Loss Epidemic

    Yeah, I cannot say I am surprised either. I cannot believe why people feel a need to shake their whole cars with their bass. Or share their music from their ear buds with the whole waiting room... Theatre's are no help either, I actually take earplugs to the movies and I hear just fine as though...

    Do cats like igloo shaped cat bed?

    My cat has never slept in any cat bed that I bought her. My sister's cat liked one of those simple carpeted tube things they sell for cat trees. And my aunt would simply buy cheap fleece blankets at Walmart and her cats were happy with that. My cat was pleased with one bed... we bought one of...

    Hello prospective new friends.

    Thank you for the warm welcome, everyone. It is appreciates greatly! I've been just reading mostly. Forums are so great that way, better than chats, since when you join in later than others you can just go back and read all the interesting things people had to say.

    CART, Captioners and Court Reporters

    I work as a C-Print captionist at a couple of local colleges. It doesn't take as long to complete the training and it is all done online at your own pace. With a decent typing speed, 80 is plenty more than most look for, and a good grasp of English grammar a person can do well. There was a link...
