Equipment for the deaf

Question

Skype

Guys, hello everyone! I came across such a report www.ntv.ru/novosti/373081/ while searching for information about the creation of a Call center. In order not to follow the links:
Ufa deaf people can now sign up for a clinic, order a taxi or call an electrician without any problems. For them, as an experiment, a special dispatch service was created, where you can contact for almost any help via Skype or SMS. And the call center employee himself calls back to the institutions and organizations that the hearing-impaired person needs. The experiment was evaluated by NTV correspondent Mikhail Chernov
Gestures and letters are translated into sounds here. Operators of the round-the-clock call center communicate with their customers in complete silence by fax, email, SMS and Skype. The last two methods are the most common. The list of requests is huge, ranging from a request to order a train ticket to SOS signals.

Question: Are there any solutions like a video handset with GPRS or WiFi? How to organize a video call handset-call center? Open source solutions? I will be grateful for the information. Thanks

Answer 1

The simplest is a netbook with a webcam and any Internet channel. You can adjust the font and set up all the necessary software. Yes, even under Linux. The price is already about 5000 rubles for a new Samsung based on Intel Atom.
Specialized WiFi-SIP phones or videophones are many times more expensive.
