Blind-deaf people use technology to connect with other people and get information about the world. Check out the website, Using GPS: What is it, what does it do, and how is it beneficial for the Deaf-Blind. That site has a collection of articles that describe the kinds of technology for deaf-blind people and how deaf-blind people use them. Portable GPS systems are available to the deaf-blind population as add-on to notetakers such as the Braille Note, Braille Sense and the Pac Mate. All three of the above mentioned products bring the power of GPS to the deaf-blind consumer, according to the website. Whether you use speech and/or Braille output, these systems allow the deaf-blind population to access information that lets them communicate or write. Technology called Notetakers have both speech output as well as electronic Braille displays.
