I'm working very closely in my new job with a colleague who's profoundly deaf. I don't have any BSL and I'm also not a very good lip speaker. At present we're communicating reasonably effectively using email and text but sometimes we need to have something that's more instantaneous. I was wondering two things. 1. Is there a one-line text display which could be hooked up to a Braille note? Or two, even more effectively, could the text terminal used for minicom calls be hooked up to the BN so that I could put stuff in and it would come out in text for him and he could use the qwerty keyboard to put stuff in which I could then read in Braille on the display?
