    I don't know..but I see that on a lot of forums...must be a speech text programme or something as no one would bother to do it otherwise!?

    It IS a speech to text program. That person is deaf and trying to work like the rest of us. I knew about that site because I'm registered deaf and they post sometimes freebies that you can get for deaf dogs. Hope that explains some of the "weirdness" people are experiencing. :T

    Fun Fact: There are more than 9 million deaf people in the UK.

    There's several kind of aids. Some deaf people are deafblind. Also, on my text telephone, I can speak and it will type for me. Or a hearing person can speak and I see it as text. There's lots of things out there to help people.

    As far as the remark about "freebies for deaf dogs", deaf dogs need to eat dog food too. :D
