Abstract :
Current textual and graphical interfaces to computing, including the Web, are a dream come true for the hearing impaired. However, improved technology for voice and audio interfaces threaten to end this dream. Requirements are identified for continued access to computing for the hearing impaired. Consideration is also given to improving access to the sight impaired.
