This line of questioning is illegal. Companies DO have a responsibility to those with disabilities during a job interview. The ADA protects those with disabilities who are interviewing for jobs. What I would have said to her was, "How do YOU communicate with customers?" That would have...

I haven't yet purchased the Beejive, I'm just running the trial license. You mean if I have T-Mobile BB the AIM will use data now with the upgrade?

It took FOREVER to download and install, but now I have it, I am so excited! I also downloaded Beejive. Couldn't be happier! ::does a dance::

Thanks! It was a "spur of the moment" decision to record and post it. Since I was asking for help with the interpreting, I thought I'd show everyone what I had so far. I appreciate your input! :ty:

Yes, it does. It has a T-coil mode. I use it occasionally, but really very rarely talk on the phone these days.

I prefer IP. My friend explained that whenever she called me via i711, she had a hard time understanding the relay operator. She said many of the operators on i711 didn't appear to be native English speakers.

I have a number through My IP Relay, and I really like it. It much for convenient to give out to people I don't know well (I have trouble with new voices on the phone). I recently discovered I can do VCO from my computer and Sorenson which is really exciting because I can speak fine, just...

Thanks so much for taking the time to critique my video! It is much appreciated. I was actually more nervous about making sure I stayed with the music (I am hard of hearing) at class. At home I used a CC'd version to help. :aw: I'll have to think of another way for the death row pardon. My...

Thanks for the suggestion Hen. I posted my video (the one I used for class the other night) here.

Here is my video of my interpretation of "Ironic" from my post the other day. Here are the lyrics: "Ironic" An old man turned ninety-eight He won the lottery and died the next day It's a black fly in your Chardonnay It's a death row pardon two minutes too late And isn't it ironic...

I encounter the same problem. What many hearing individuals fail to understand is that speech is 2-way communication. Ideally, you need to be able to hear and speak to use speech. Sometimes, I just go with "voice off". It's far easier. I know I will have a hard time understanding the speaker, so...

Yes, you are correct. If we say, "She got a free ride to the university" this means that she got a full scholarship. She doesn't need to pay tuition. Or you could say, "He got a free ride into office" meaning he didn't have to do a lot of campaigning or convincing people to vote for him. So the...

Thank you. I did see that video, but her interpretation is literal and not the actual meaning of "free ride". "free ride" means getting something without the hard work or money typically associated with it. It has nothing to do with an actual "ride". :hmm:

Hey all, I am working on interpreting "Ironic" by Alanis Morrisette for my ITP for tomorrow night. My tutor (who is Deaf and ASL fluent) and I were trying to come up with a good interpretation for "It's a free ride when you've already paid" We decided on: "ticket opportunity...

Hi, I saw Sorenson offers Voice Carry Over on the website. Anyone have experience with this? Can I use it with my Blackberry device? I am going to email and ask, but I thought maybe someone already had some experience. VCO, for clarification is when deaf or hoh voice for themselves and the...

Thanks everyone. I will add these things to my list!

Tell your landlord you think that your roommate's habits (or lack thereof) have created an unsanitary living condition for you. Mold growth, bugs, etc are NOT a good thing. Tell the landlord you want a health inspector in to look over the building and living conditions. Seek legal counsel. Most...

Hi all, My friend and I are presenting to a class on November 11th. The topic is "making university classrooms accessible". The class is future university-level instructors. So...my question is: If you could make a list of the things you wish your teachers had known prior to you...

Thank you all so very much for your responses. I am feeling a lot better about getting back in the groove this week and fully participating in my classes. I guess I hadn't considered the fact that I do deserve access by virtue of the fact that I am a student there. I can only take care of...

Hey all, I haven't been around in awhile...been preoccupied with medical issues and relationship drama...you know how it goes! Anyway, I have a moderate hearing loss and wear 2 digital BTEs. This is all fine and well, except at school. I go to a large university and am expected to keep up...
