I enjoyed the video and found many of the points very important. The only qualm i have is with with Tommy's voice interpreter. Although he does do a good job interpreting, he makes Tommy sound very unenthused and apathetic. Don't get me wrong im sure the voice interpreter is excellent but he could make Tommy sound more personable and welcoming. Doing this would add a lot of credibility to the co-host.

Hi I always enjoy to watch ur netsign news U mentioned about the vrs at the hospital I had experienced It was great to get interpreter on time instead of waiting for someone to come in During the mtg I dislike becuz u see I was supervisor at Post Office for two years and When we had mtg and they required to know how long will we use vrs I would say maybe 30 minutes but somehow we had a big debate about the issues and VRS interpreter will close exact 30 minutes no longer than that I rather have live interpreter becuz we can use interpreter up to 2 hours and can walk with her to other room vrs cant walk to other room Its unfortunatelyThank uJim Lomanto (Jimactor)

I really enjoy this website. This is a very userful website for students learning sign language such as myself. In any event,I have a suggestion for the topic of the "Interpreters being used in the hospitals in a box"- as you had said. Since they are to be moved around so much, it's just a shame there isn't some way to have these TY mounted with some kind of electronic device to have the interpreter adjust their view on their end. Maybe have a pedal they or even the doctors can step on to adjust as they interprete. The other suggestion may be to have the TY on some kind of metal polls that extend across one wall so that the TV would run back and forth on these polls for better viewing for the interpreter.Thank you and keep the signing coming! It's wonderful.Diana
