Deaf Users.

[Fylk]

Hello my fellow ubuntu users! I hope this day meets you with great promises of wealth and happyness.

I come to you today for a very specific reason. While I myself am not deaf, I am studying the opportunities that opensource solutions like ubuntu offer for deaf users. However I find information rather hard to find. So far I have found several suggestions to include vidoes in the help files in ASL, the numerous repos that include low hassle video phone, and s/mplayers ability to force subtitles(or rather, its early support of it).

What I'm wondering is what else there is out there? I've been at this for a while, but I can't find too much info. I've been digging around and found a little info about translating parts of ubuntu into ASL, but that's about it.

Any help?

Also, if you are a deaf user, that would be most awesome.

Just a post 24 hours bump.

The lack of response speaks for itself it seems

Just want to point to the following subforum that may be of help.

Good luck.

What do you mean by forced subtitles, do you mean some speech to text engine or how to display subs from a file.

man mplayer

shows to that "F" toggles "forced-subtitles", that one looks for a file and reads from it. If no subs file is present, it "F" has no effect.
