We used to have some who did the transcriptions of all the chats, but I
don't see her on the list. Liz, I would do it, ut don't know how. But
agree.
By the by, you are among several on here who are deaf blind, smile.

Interviews Dave Lieber Wednesday, January 9, 2008>
Dang! Yet another interview, like Jim's last fall, that will be
auditory-only based and I (and who knows how many others who don't say
anything) can't access. Chat rooms inaccessible, bummer but personally
accepted. Info interviews though, that bothers me personally that I cannot
access them. Suppose BS blew a few bucks for real time captioner right then,
or cheaper, paid a transciptionist next day who would then transcribe the
interviews and BS then put them in accessible formats? Hmm??? I'm feeling
very left out and unconsidered, both for myself and for other volunteers who
haven't said anything but are also unable to discriminate speech either due
to hearing loss or language processing disorders, or whatever.
Maybe anyone who supports this idea could chime in?
