DESCRIPTION: (as per applicant's abstract) The deaf need to communicate with the mainstream hearing world in their employment, as consumers of goods and services, and in their social interactions. While this need has been generally recognized, technology in this area has been lacking. The Phase I R&D has produced TTY/TDD emulation software which will allow, for the first time, standard modems to communicate with the Baudot TTY's used by the deaf. In the Phase II, this technology, and NXi's network technology, will be used to address the needs of the deaf or speech impaired in communicating with the hearing in both a home and office environment. A hearing person will be able to conveniently call a deaf person, or vice versa, at home or office directly and a relay service will be conferenced into the call as needed. Call set up will be easier, and either party will be able to talk or type at any time to comment or interrupt leading to more natural conversations. The proposed R&D will add software support for the hardware developed in the Phase I, and the TTY emulation software will be ported to the 'WinCE' operating system, producing a new class of very portable 'TTY.' PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: NOT AVAILABLE

描述：（根据申请人的摘要） 聋人需要与主流听力世界进行交流 就业，作为商品和服务的消费者，以及他们的社会 互动。虽然这种需求已被普遍认识到，但这一领域的技术 地区一直缺乏。一期研发出TTY/TDD仿真软件 这将首次允许标准调制解调器与 Baudot TTY 供聋人使用。在第二阶段，该技术和 NXi 的 网络技术，将用于解决聋人或语音的需求 在家庭和办公室与听力沟通障碍 环境。听力正常的人将能够方便地呼叫聋哑人， 反之亦然，直接在家或办公室，并提供中继服务 根据需要加入通话。呼叫设置会更容易，并且 当事人可以随时说话或打字来发表评论或打断领导 更自然的对话。拟议的研发将增加软件支持 第一阶段开发的硬件和TTY仿真软件将 移植到“WinCE”操作系统，产生了一种新型的非常便携的 “电传打字机”。 拟议的商业应用：不可用
