ABSTRACT

To facilitate face-to-face conversation between deaf and hearing team-members, we created a cross-platform, browser-based, persistent-content text-as-you-type system that aggregates each individual's utterances in revisable personal notes on a userconfigurable multi-person workspace. The system increases the fluidity of real time interaction, makes it easier to keep track of an individual's contributions over time, and supports new patterns of interaction. It has also become an interesting case of universal design: by rethinking web-based chat for deaf users, we have developed a platform with promise for the general population.
