@AnAutieAtUni @actuallyautistic I wish that all meetings could be in written form, but I know people will never agree to that. What's the protocol for when a deaf person is on the team? At the least, I would think it would include providing an interpreter. But because I can technically hear, it's assumed that I can use what I hear, which simply isn't the case. I have more in common with deaf and HoH people than neurotypical hearing people. I could use an interpreter -- someone who could translate between verbal and written communication for me. But I doubt that will ever be offered or allowed. And I would face stigma for being "inconvenient" if I insist.
I look forward to the day when speech-to-text and text--to-speech technology is reliable and fast enough to use in real-time settings. Maybe then I can have an automated interpreter and just turn my sound off altogether.
