Hello Ann,

Your email contains the germ of a solution for the deaf person:
the typewriter!  If the deaf person has a keyboard and screen
facing away from them, they can type in the message for the
other person to see.  No need for a glove.

BTW, the glove for deafblind has already been invented and patented.
And so has my typing system with screen facing away!

As for getting funding to develop one's good idea, that's a
real problem this side of the pond, especially if it is for the
disability market.  No investor wants to know.

Cheers from Chiswick,

John
