If you could design a great app (iPhone, Android, smart phone, etc...) for deaf and HOH what would you want it to be able to do? Doesn't matter if you think its currently possible or not. Just imagine you had the portable phone/device and things you'd wish you could use it for in regards to being deaf or HOH.
Here are a some that come to mind for me.
Voice recognition (speech to text) that would work both over the phone (as in replacing a relay operator) and also in person (as in a microphone that you can read what ever speech it picks up).
ASL reference. As a person who wasn't always deaf and didn't grow up with ASL. This could be handy at times. Let's face it. ASL can also be an ice breaker topic when meeting people. I'd want this reference to find the sign by both typing the word and also by speaking it into the device.
Controls for my cochlear implant or a hearing aid.
Some kind of emergency call service.
That's just a few I'd want. What would you want?
