Oh, you're talking about the Laurie King pastiches!

Nice.

If you can't find a thread abt a particular topic, use the SEARCH  thing  up above.    If yu still can't find anything,   then  find the right forum  and make a new thread.   

I  just looked up those sites you mentioned russel  for the movie theaters.    My  theater   only  has two  of the devices--the flexible straw thing,  and the earphones.   They don't have rear window captioning OR  open captions,  which is what I really  like.   

As for cell phones---I recently went to Las Vegas NV  to a DEAFNATION   convention  in  August.   They showed me what SPRINT RELAY   network   is offerring to the deaf ppl.    As  far as I know,   the 2 apps they showed me were ONLY   on  the sprint network,  via  GOOGLE  PLAY STORE.    I  don't know if any other network that offers these phone apps. (verizon, AT &T, etc)    If  I've mentioned them before,  I  apologize.    Here they are----


1.    Wireless Captel   System  by  Raketu---This is a COMPUTER/INTERNET system.  On  this  system,   you  can  TALK to the person you are calling,  and when the person replies,  it shows up automatically on the screen of your phone, so that you can SEE and READ  what the other person is saying.   This also allows you to have your own number,  so that hearing ppl can call you and leave a voicemail  IF  you  don't answer it.    If  you answer it,  it works the same way, vice versa. 

A----For me,  this app doesn't always work  when I need it to,  so  I hardly ever use it.   I'm  on the 3G network,  and It's not large enuf to hold the bandwidth  of the captel app,   so  my  calls are always dropped or  disconnected,  and my  friends on the other end cannot understand me,  or my call doesn'[t go thru.  I've  tried this system  on   WI-FI,   I've used a Bluetooth device,   but   still the system does not work.    I  usually  leave this app OFF.  I  check it,   because I've given some ppl my captel num.   But when I play back the messages they leave me,  the phone often cuts off  before the message is finished.    Yes,  I've   been  in  touch  with the captel reps, and with Sprint,   and I've done EVERYTHING  they've told me to do,   but   the captel thing is still having trouble.    Where I live,   4G   is not available, even tho other  phone co  (at and T, verizon,  etc)   ARE  on  the 4 G  network.   But Sprint?    NO,  and they don't INTEND  to  get  to  get onto that network.

2.    Sprint Mobile IP relay system--  THIS  system works MUCH   better for me,  as long as I  have a good data  connection thru the internet,  where I live,  3G  and WI-FI   both do a very good job   of making this work for me.    It's   just like using a TTY  at home.     I   open the app,   and I dial a friend's number.   I  wait to be connected to a third party operator, who  is a live person,    and that person will  dial the number I want, and spk to the person I'm calling.   I'm  merrily  typing my responses and saying GA   when I finish spking,  and the other person does the same, with the 3rd party operator typing back to me what the other person is saying.

A--I  love this app  MUCH  more than the captel system.   When  I  was traveling back in October, I was able to make important  phone calls using my cell phone,  using this app.    The only drawback is I type slow,  and even tho I use the swipe method sometimes,  Using this app is time consuming.    But It's worth it, for me.   

Hope this info is helpful to anyone.  Keep sharing your information----Knowledge is important!!

you can call me kitty  or  skitty.

yeah....I  like having my smartphone too  mine  is a samsung galaxy 2,  with that big screen. when I go out of town, that phone knows where I'm at!!     Even  after my 2 yr contract is up,  I  MIGHT  keep  it,   I  just  don't know.   I  use mine for internet,  and for kindle e reader--and for sprint mobile IP relay--  so  I'm  getting my  moneys worth.    I  use  Hamilton Relay  for  my  landline.    and yes  it's on the google play apps...just never tried it.   

DISNEY  had the rear  window  caption thing.  remember Captain EO  with Michael Jackson?   That's where I first used it.  But  in  most  major cities like sacramento or los angeles,  they would have rear window captioning.  .   It  depends upon which theater chain you go to.   
No,  my theater doesn't have rear window caps in MY  town.  They  just have that flexible straw screen thing,  where you're reading the captions on the small screen attached to the pole,  while you're watching the movie on the big screen.   If  I  can  find a link I'll post it.   I  don't recall what it's called. 
   
when I was in Santa Ana, CA  I  went to a theater which was showing   TITANIC   1997  with Open Captions,  right there on the screen.     boy  what a thrill.    My  theater does this  too  SOMETIMES  but   they wait till after the movie has become less popular. 

russell  what happened to your picture?  all I see is a red x  and blackness where the pic should be.
