Go away!” and save me the trouble of shooing them away." If you announced you were deaf, wouldn't the salesman go away automatically? Now that I think about it, I want that! :) ALARMS: What about the flashing fire alarms - we give those away in our city? Are they that expensive, or do you mean something different? CAPTIONING And auto captioning - I bet that's coming. YouTube offers auto-translation into foreign languages, from English captions. (http://www.youtube.com/blog?entry=oqBeXa7v_aE) I keep thinking there has got to be a way to hook up a dictation program like Dragon "Naturally Speaking" http://www.nuance.com/naturallyspeaking/ that you could hook up to your computer to give you a rough transcript of what's being said.
