Great suggestions! There's a captioned FaceTime equivalent called Talky at https://talky.io/ You can put captions on video by typing while having video. https://blog.andyet.com/2015/10/19/talky-gets-real-time-text/

I don't use pillowshakers anymore.... Cheap smartwatches now have vibrators ($50, $80 watches) I can sleep anywhere I want (sofa, friend, family, etc). My watch on my wrist vibrates to wake me up now. I even downloaded a smartwatch app so I have to enter a special button code to turn off my...

March 2013 update is much better, and finally captions have arrived on most Netflix material in Canada (seems to be >75% now). Most deaf people being visual people wanting the best image quality, enable SuperHD on Netflix. SuperHD also works in Canada; but you must go to netflix.com Settings...

I have been using RWC and CaptiView for the last few years in Canadian movie theaters. (Toronto's ScotiaBank Theatre, as well as the SilverCity in Ottawa). Summary: - I now prefer CaptiView, now having used both - CaptiView theaters have more captioned movies than RWC theaters. - CaptiView is...

Hello, Based on my researching about Closed Captioning and Subtitles: [Info current as of January 3, 2012] Services supporting CC/Subtitles - Netflix: Captioning is supported. (now lots of material) - AppleTV: Captioning is supported. (some material) - Vudu: Captioning IS NOT supported. -...

(written to Bell, copied here) CC: CRTC To Bell Canada, Recently, you made a change to your IP Relay service that makes the process of making a phone call slower and longer. Your IP Relay service login procedure has become unacceptable, and a possible violation of "ease of disability access"...

One possibility is to get a VPN service, to make your computer look like a U.S. connection (U.S. IP address). These VPN services usually cost a few dollars a month and would solve your problem.

One complaint I now have about Bell Canada's IP-Relay is that it's now harder to log in, as I have to go through more hoops -- Bell It now requires me to jump through 4 webpages before I can make a quick phone call. IP Relay was easier to login earlier... Can't Bell make it easier to...

Some news...Two companies are working on an open source Android demo of real-time text. I'm helping them! Also, put up a new page, for those who want to share the link on Facebook or with other people (i.e. companies they work at, Cisco, AOL, Google, NID, Gallaudet, etc)...

Appreciated -- I did fill that out a few days ago.

Does anyone know how to contact Ken Harrenstien at Google, inventor of auto-caption for YouTube? I'd like to also inform him of the real-time text protocol I developed for Google Talk compatible networks (XMPP extension XEP-0301 - xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0301.html ...)

I use a very standard intro message: "Hello! This is Mark calling through a relay interpretor because I am deaf." This helps some, not perfect, but this helps. It's short, it's clear to people who's never used relay because they know what an "interpretor" is!

The Android XMPP RTT software can be programmed to holds transmission until the person has moved on to the next word, so the person can finish typing the word before the word gets transmitted. So typos don't need to show up! (unless you ignore the typo and continued typing the next two words)

TechBill, there's an ON/OFF feature in the menu -- so you can turn it on and off as needed! It was also in ICQ split screen in the late 90's, before ICQ removed it. I believe that the technology should be included in all chat programs, with an on/off feature! (AIM already has it, it's off by...

Most skydives are 13500 feet in altitude. The flight takes about 10-15 minutes, the freefall lasts 60 seconds, and the parachute flight lasts 5 minutes. More detail: If I want a longer parachute flight, I can pull immediately out of the airplane (with permission) and get a 20 minute...

I still get quite a few hangups, especially when calling USA businesses. Pretty sad that the scammers have abused relay for so long.... Fortunately, IP-Relay services in Canada (very new) has always required registration, and I don't get much hangups from Canadian businesses.

I have invented a method of real time text over Jabber-compatible networks including Google Talk, Apple iChat, Cisco WebEx and similiar chat programs that use the same chat system (did you know Google, Apple and Cisco use the same chat system?). I put the invention on a website at RealJabber.org...

Hello! Although I've been around a bit, I'm reintroducing myself! ....One is that I'm Canada's first licensed born-deaf skydiver, I'm listed as the only Canadian skydiver at DeafSkydivers.org Profiles! I have published an article about my skydiving endeavours at this Dropzone.com link...

Awareness of visual and touch stimulus can be heightened when the aural stimulus is lower. Example... Even though I cannot hear whispers, I can feel the breath of whispering up to 1 feet behind my neck.
