It is a way to communicate without using any speech. Instead, those who wish to communicate just type back and forth to one another. The Interpretype is essentially a keyboard with screen. The keyboard and a small screen and can be connected either to another Interpretype or an actual laptop that has the Interpretype software. ITY’s Special Features: This device has many features that make it user friendly.

It is also quite small but has a full sized key board which allows for quick and efficient typing. The ITY has a Spanish translation module which, with the simple click of the mouse, can be used to translate conversations between English and Spanish speaking people. It is very simple to hook the ITY up to any standard laptop which allows users to both print and save conversations if needed. Finally, because the ITY has minimal equipment, it can be placed almost anywhere for convenient communication. People this device would benefit the most: The ITY would be the perfect tool for students who are deaf or have hearing impairments. It would also help students who have speech impairments.

Students with hearing impairments could also be hooked up to the laptops of other students during group work.
