We run a paltalk room once a week and we have a deaf member at the forum
While people are typing he can follow the conversation
Is there an add on for Paltalk do you know?? so the voice would be converted into text
I have had a google but all i can find are text to speech which is no use at all
Many thanks for any suggestions
tried the paltalk help room and they were as much use as a chocolate chair
I'll probably be proved wrong... but my understanding of speech recognition software is that you initially have to train it to recognise your voice.
So I doubt very much if there will be a program that will understand lots of different voices, let alone an add on
Thats so sad
He is such a lovely boy only 17
and gets so frustrated whan he cant follow the conversation
I try my best but being a two fingered typist im slow
Many thanks
I think he was contacting the deaf association to see if they could help him
Just had a thought.. if he does sign language then couldn't someone link up with him by web cam and sign for him?
Hello Nellie
i think he has solved the problem but as he is on holiday i cant give any details
We find the Wednesday Paltalk sessions great fun as i hope he has solved it and is will add a new dimensioin to his experience
I cant imagine what its like to be deaf missing out on so much interaction
Forums like Kickenhardware where there are a regular group of users are good for him
Hes such a character as well he makes me laugh
If anyone would like to join our chats on a Wednesday you are most welcome
Its not all pc related ( thats boring LOL]
Thanks for your comments Nellie
please let us know how he overcame the problem.. I'm sure it will be useful information for others with accessibility issues.
Well he is back from holiday now and we are contacting the Paltalk Admin
He has also had the idea of setting up a room just for deaf people with the microphone option turned off
As soon as i have any details i will pass them on
It must be lonely to be in a world of silence
