DeafDigest Mid-Week edition, October 18, 2013
-- a bank that communicates easily with the deaf
Ryugyu Bank is a Japanese bank in the southern part of
the nation. This bank has 10 branches. These branches
have special tablets on the teller counter that allows
deaf customers to communicate with the tellers on
banking matters. So far, this new method of communications
is doing pretty good.
-- a bad ASL signer has 30,000 followers and 130,000 viewers
Someone, who does not sign good ASL, has over 30,000 followers
and 130,000 viewers on his "how to learn ASL" videos. The
interpreters and ASL teachers are upset with him because of
his bad ASL skills, and have asked him to take down his
videos. He refuses. How much ASL did he learn? He only took
one ASL class (probably ASL 101).
-- A captioning company says they have a new device
A captioning company said they have invented something new
that will obey the FCC rule on the 24/7/all channels captions.
Yet, when DeafDigest asked that company if their new captions
would block texts on the screen, the company would not respond.
If you are watching a captioned football game on TV, you do not
want the captions to hide the football score and the time clock
remaining. This has been a problem for over 30 years!
