Abstract

Tri-Page is an example of emerging communication technologies now available to the deaf community. These technologies will help address problems of unemployment and underemployment of deaf people. This software allows a telecommunication device for the deaf (TDD) to access alphanumeric pagers leaving messages on the pagers. The deaf individual is alerted to receiving messages through a vibrator in the pagers. This software bridges the communication barrier of Baudot and ASCII making traditionally incompatible devices accessible to each other. With sport and cooperation from McCaw and Airsignal, communication possibilities thus far denied to the deaf have become part of everyday living
