Looking back over this, Voice recognition again, converting speech to text.

Or the two can use video and texting together. Don't see the need for hand signs if it can just as well be converted to text, or just texted.

You think too much sometimes. grin

By the way carp, if you think a sophisticated SL conversation can't be carried on one-handed, you've never been out shopping with deaf people smile. They've got it sorted - it might not be Shakespeare, but it works fine the same way having a conversation at a football match works - the 'listener' gets the whole conversation even with some parts of the traditional gestures missing, because they understand the language and know what to expect, my deaf friends tell me.
I think I read somewhere about a phone add-on being developed that put a braille pad on its back. The problem with voice activation on a touchscreen phone is that you'd need help from a sighted person setting it up first.

Granted, but most deaf people have friends who can do that for them....

It's a great spectator sport watching deaf women clutching shopping whilst signing away (generally about the shopping smile ) - I wasn't dissing yer knowledge, just saying it does work.
