Around 1.5% of the world's population are deaf, and have trouble communicating with non-deaf persons in schools, at work places or in public administrations. AQUARIUS Keyboard is a stand alone system of firmware consisting of two connected units, where text written on one unit is instantly transferred to the other, replacing the current use of pen and paper. At the end of a conversation, everything that has been said can be printed. For instance, the AQUARIUS Keyboard can be used in classrooms to teach deaf persons spoken language and to serve as an interpreter between teachers and deaf persons. The system units are both smaller and more affordable than average computers.
