The I-Communicator converts both speech to text and also speech to a video of sign language. It also produces a clear, crisp computer generated voice to the student's hearing aid, FM monitor, or cochlear implant. The teacher wears a mike system that picks up what is said, and this is transmitted to the student all at once at the same time. Because all of this is done simultaneously, it improves the association between sign language and the written and spoken word. It improves the the reading and speaking skills of the deaf or hard of hearing student. An added plus is that the system filters out extraneous classroom noise and only sends the signal sent from the I-Communicator.
