Deaf telephony: community-based co-design
(Wiley, 2011)The process of community-based co-design is one that explores various solution configurations in a multi-dimensional design space whose axes are the different dimensions of requirements and the various dimensions of designer ... -
Deaf telephony: community-based co-design (case study)
(Wiley, 2011)The process of community-based co-design is one that explores various solution configurations in a multi-dimensional design space whose axes are the different dimensions of requirements and the various dimensions of designer ... -
Improving usability and correctness of a mobile tool to help a Deaf person with pharmaceutical instruction
(ACM, 2013)The computing for development community knows how to build user interfaces using qualitative methods for text il- literate users, especially on mobile devices. However, lit- tle work has been done speci cally targeting ... -
Mobile Communication Tools for a South African Deaf patient in a pharmacy context
(IIMC International Information Management Corporation, 2012)This paper presents a case for iterative community-based co-design to facilitate the emergence of an innovative mobile system to address a potentially life-threatening scenario for Deaf people in South Africa. For Deaf ... -
Preparation of Deaf end-users and the softbridge for semi-automated relay trials
(Telkom, 2004)Following on the development of several prototypes, we have built a semi-automated Deaf Telephony prototype on the SoftBridge platform. This prototype relays text and speech between Deaf users on the Internet and hearing ... -
SignSupport: a limited communication domain mobile aid for a Deaf patient at the pharmacy
(Telkom, 2013)This paper discusses a prototype for a communication aid on a mobile phone to support a Deaf1 person visiting a public hospital pharmacy. The aim is to prevent problems of non-compliance to treatment due to poor communication ... -
SoftBridge in action: the first Deaf telephony pilot
(Telkom, 2003)Following on several partial prototypes, we built an automated Deaf Telephony bridging application with the SoftBridge platform. The SoftBridge performs multi-modal bridging in real-time using Text-to-Speech (TTS) and ... -
Telecommunications bridging between deaf and hearing users in South Africa
(2004)This paper presents a description of telecommunications for Deaf people in South Africa by contrasting the situation in the developed world. We explain the main motivations for providing a locally appropriate solution. ... -
Telgo323: an H.323 Bridge for deaf telephony
(Telkom, 2002)We have developed a prototype bridge that relays text and speech between Teldem, a text telephone for the Deaf, and a standard telephone or H.323 endpoint. Telgo323 uses modified H.323 media gateways and open source Text ... -
Towards communication and information access for deaf people
(SAICSIT, 2014)In tightly circumscribed communication situations, an interactive system resident on a mobile device can assist Deaf people with their communication and information needs. The Deaf users considered here use South African ... -
Usability of an authoring tool for generalised scenario creation for signsupport
(Telkom, 2015)This paper presents the usability testing results for an authoring tool that generalises scenario creation for a tool called SignSupport. SignSupport is a mobile communication tool for Deaf people that currently runs ... -
Web-based telephony bridges for the deaf
(Telkom, 2001)A Teldem provides text-based telephony services to the deaf. Despite an array of text-based communications mechanisms on the web, the Teldem is the only means of synchronous telecommunication available to a deaf person. ...
