About
DH Chat is a mobile phone and/or tablet application for face-to-face (or nearby) communication between deaf and hearing people that runs on two Bluetooth linked devices. For a deaf person it enables speech to be converted to text, which is sent to the device he/she is using and then, as necessary, responded to. In circumstances where one party is Deaf and uses sign language and the other doesn't, communication via text is possible. It is available for both Android (4.2 and higher) and Apple iOS (version requirements unknown) platforms and is downloadable from the appropriate sites. Most of what follows in this post relates to my assessment of DH Chat on two Android devices.
