    No CC using upconverting DVD player

    It's also possible to decode captions inside the player and display it over HDMI. (To the HDMI cable's perspective it's already 'open captioning') With a built-in caption decoder in the upconverting DVD player, you don't even need a caption decoder in the HDTV. The question is: Which...

    tty vs captel phone

    One good reason: Faster conversations. CapTel goes 180 words per minute captioning, Relay goes only 60 words per minute captioning (usually). However, I'm in Canada and can't use CapTel. But I know a friend who uses CapTel exactly like this! But he knows not everyone likes computer...

    JiveTalk - new IM for BB devices

    Oops! :bowdown: Thanks for pointing that out. :-) Either way, I think the statute of limitations has expired: That other thread has been dead for a long time. So I think I'm scots-free. I hope. This should become the new Official AllDeaf JiveTalk thread.

    UPDATE for BLACKBERRY USERS

    Calm down, I've worked for companies that make RIM software, and I program BlackBerry software for a living! I have gone to RIM before, conventions, and meet some people there. Many of RIM's employees also love JiveTalk too! They love it, and they don't mind the competition because it makes...

    tty vs captel phone

    There's a way to use CapTel if you use computer voice. You type, the computer speaks into the telephone for you. There are plenty of software that does this. You'll also need a RadioShack adaptor to attach your computer's sound output to a telephone handset jack. It is also CapTel...

    vonag on tty and captel phone

    About CapTel, I'd wager it probably not work very well. It'd work "sometimes" probably, but cut out often. I can muster a 28800bps analog modem connection over Vonage but it has occasional random dropouts, which is very bad for CapTel. TTY is much more reliable over a really good VoIP...

    vonag on tty and captel phone

    I use Vonage with my computer TTY. Only U.S. relay services work, but I'm able to call Canada using them anyway, and Vonage Unlimited Long distance solves that too. You DO need a high-end low-latency Internet connection though. If your ISP has a PEER1 backbone or one of the "good...

    BlackBerry modem connection Laytop

    If you upgrade your 8700 to OS 4.2, you can use Bluetooth instead of a cable for tethering. OS 4.2 is not always available from all carriers, but the PROXIMUS version (from BBForums) works on Cingular 8700's too... Also I use Internet Accelerator, Internet Accelerator Download, Web...

    RIM Officially Announced BlackBerry Curve!

    I tethered my BlackBerry over Bluetooth to my laptop and I was able to use the train, the Greyhound bus, the backseat of car. You don't get WiFi on most of those! WiFi is great but it's wonderful to have Internet in the backseat of a car sometimes. There is non-stop BlackBerry reception...

    And for an even better web browser, install Opera Mini VERSION 4 BETA from www.operamini.com on the BlackBerry. It has a ZOOM feature (kinda like iphone safari). It's available for many phones including BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, etc... I got it on my BlackBerry 8700r (the Beta2) and it...

    Amazingly improved Relay for BlackBerry!

    Doesn't matter either way for IP-Relay. The worst thing that would happen would be that both icons would exist concurrently, allowing you to try both the old and new versions out.

    Does this settlement also apply to Blu-Ray and HD-DVD? The new HDTV version of DVD that just came out this year? 2012 is an awfully long time, and some of us may not be using DVD anymore...

    HOWTO: Successfully getting TTY working over VoIP

    I've used Primus TalkBroadband and I've used Vonage. Both are TTY compatible assuming you are using a good high-speed ISP. (preferably a good "XBOX Live" compatible ISP) Your weak link will probably be the ISP. Are you with a good ISP? -- speed of ISP is not as important as predictable...
