How do blind people and deaf people communicate?
The communication between the deaf and the blind is the biggest obstacle, which is also a subject being actively explored and studied.

Although, in real life, some people are deaf and dumb, they can only communicate with the blind simply. It's a little inconvenient to talk about things. If you are deaf or completely blind, communication is more difficult. Speak with a pen, but the blind can't see, even amblyopia is not completely blind, and reading is also difficult.

As we all know, deaf people and blind people have one thing in common, that is, sensitivity. Writing on the palm of your hand with your fingers can solve simple problems, but it is not easy because there are differences between men and women, between young and old, and between educational levels. Besides, complicated issues are unacceptable.

Some people say that as long as the blind can understand what the deaf say, the blind can understand what they say, slow down, open their mouths, understand what they are saying and communicate; Others say that with a computer, you can type what you want to say on the computer, so that the deaf can see it and the blind can hear it with the help of screen reading software. However, if you are illiterate and deaf, how can you communicate with the blind? However, if deaf and blind people can learn the common language, deaf people can learn Braille, and blind people can learn sign language to communicate, but it is not that simple; Of course, if it is convenient, please ask healthy people to talk to the blind, listen to what the blind say, and then talk to the deaf in writing to achieve the purpose of communication. For example, once, a deaf girl at work dragged me to the library, and I was at a loss. Only when I arrived at the scene did I know that a blind girl needed to borrow audio books, and they could not communicate. However, if the deaf and the blind get along alone, there is no way to communicate. Once, I asked a blind man in the company how he usually communicates with the deaf. He said that it is very difficult to communicate with deaf people at ordinary times, and there is really no way to type and communicate with computer "Yongde" voice software. It seems that the information barrier has brought confusion to the communication between the deaf and the blind.

Pay attention to the disadvantaged groups and join hands to offer love. The 4th China Information Barrier-free Forum with the theme of "Promoting Barrier-free Application and Creating a Harmonious Future" was held in Chongqing at the end of last year, which brought good news for the deaf and blind to realize information barrier-free communication. Holding the China Information Barrier-free Forum is an important measure for the China government to pay attention to and support the disadvantaged groups. Information accessibility promotes people of different levels, different regions, different ages and various obstacles to enjoy the basic rights of information exchange, so that everyone in society can use information and information-related technologies equally, and the cause of information accessibility has contributed greatly.

In the information barrier-free forum, China Telecom specially customized the telephone broadcasting terminal for the blind. The telephone surface and instructions are printed in Braille, and the sound effect is even better. Users can listen to telephone broadcast programs by pressing a key, which greatly facilitates blind users. The "barrier-free information platform" designed and developed by China Netcom Group Broadband Online Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Youlian * * * is a value-added voice product dedicated to serving the disabled. The forum is not only for communication and discussion, but more importantly, it is the main work of this forum to launch substantive Internet services for vulnerable groups, establish corresponding platforms, how to use information technology to help the disabled, and expand services and brands on the original basis. This forum will focus on the theme of "the application of information barrier-free industries". Relevant persons in charge of the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Information Industry, Palm Smart Company, IBM China Information Accessibility Center and Inner Mongolia Disabled Persons' Federation will fully exchange information accessibility standards, information accessibility wireless service platform construction and trial operation, government and public utilities information accessibility solutions, and enterprise information accessibility promotion. With the in-depth study of information accessibility standards, information accessibility standards will be introduced soon.

According to the relevant person in charge of China Disabled Persons' Foundation, China Disabled Persons' Foundation sponsored a pilot project in Chengdu, which established a telephone transfer service platform for the disabled, trained specialized personnel, and cooperated with specialized equipment for communication between deaf-mutes, between deaf-mutes and healthy people, and between deaf-mutes and blind people. These devices realize the free switching between words and sounds, effectively solve the problem of poor communication for the disabled, and provide convenience for information exchange and communication between the deaf and the blind.
