How to use 1. Place your iPad between you and the other person. 2. Enjoy conversation in writing. Close [FOUR STARS] by mymax.com.au - Version - 1.1.1 - Aug 8, 2010 Good, would be five if you could set and select templates Die App für Taubstumme. [ONE STAR] by gioachimo - Version - 1.1.1 - Aug 11, 2010 Das ist sie! Die absolut nutzloseste App für Leute, die keine körperlichen Behinderungen haben. Für Taubstumme ist sie allerdings hervorragend, aber das sollte man vielleicht doch dazu schreiben. Great for Communication [FIVE STARS] by rmtc78 - Version - 1.1.1 - May 31, 2012 This is a great tool for the deaf and hard of hearing to use to communicate in restaurants, doctor's offices, and with friends. It would also be good for others with communication difficulties.
