-- Deaf Restaurant not perfect
There was much publicity abut SIGNS, the deaf
restaurant, in Toronto. No restaurant is
perfect, and the SIGNS is no exception.
Service was too slow. The menu was limited
and the food was OK. Bad timing in serving
dishes; the main dish was served before the
diner had a chance to finish his appetizer.
Requests for water were ignored. What
did the hearing owner of SIGNS say about
these problems?
It was the first full time job for many of
our staffers and we need to train them more.
This restaurant has 45 employees, with
nearly 30 of them deaf.
-- Microsoft and its Skype Translator app
Microsoft's Skype Translator app already
has four langauges to support - Italian,
Chinese, French and German. This is in
addition to text English and voice
English. Who worked on this Skype
language project? It is Ted Hart.
He is deaf.
