Why not use
text-based communication that is accessible to both the deaf and the blind?
Accessibility technology must be tailored to the needs of the person/s
using it. Some people cannot use text based communication (due to
illiteracy and/or dyslexia) so they need other communication
technologies (audio based and/or video based, depending upon their
disabilities).
If I understand correctly, the video accessibility problem may be relevant
to deaf (or hard of hearing) people who are also illterate or dyslexic, but
sill have access to modern computing equipment and a high-speed connection.
How many of those are there anyway?
