    • RE: Communication apps for deaf users?

      Hi AppLee

      Thank you very much for replying. I appreciate your kind honesty in telling me what I hoped not to 'hear'! But better to know than to buy a phone and then get frustrated with it.

      I look forward to learning if Relay UK can be added to Ubuntu Touch because I would rely on that more than video calling.

      Thank you.

      Thank you everyone.

      It sounds like Ubuntu Touch won't work for me then? Does anybody know of another deGoogled alternative (cleaner, more privacy etc)? I have read android is open source, but I don't know anything about it otherwise, and I've heard of /e/ but also don't know much about that. But while I am here perhaps somebody will have an idea?

      Thank you!

      I think I might be really confused. I was given an iPad, which appears to be apple. But I thought it was a Nexus 7 because I was also given paperwork for that. So, the last question is probably to be ignored. Sorry about that!

    • Communication apps for deaf users?

      Hello

      Newbie here. I am not sure I am posting in the correct place - apologies if I have made a mistake with this.

      I am deaf and I have never used a smartphone before. I am considering buying one of those supported by Ubuntu Touch and installing Ubuntu Touch on it.

      I have just contacted Relay UK (speech to text service) to see if I can add their app to the Ubuntu Touch OS, but the person I 'spoke' with was not sure if it was the smartphone or the operating system that would either accept or reject a particular app. S/he had never heard of Ubuntu Touch. S/he said an android phone would accept their app, but is this the case if I am using Ubuntu Touch?

      Also, I have looked at the list of apps available with Ubuntu Touch and do not see one for video calling, which I would want to have the option of using to communicate via sign language.

      I happen to have an iPad that is supported by Ubuntu Touch, and was considering trying to install UT on it to see if I got on with it before buying a smartphone. Is it possible to install Ubuntu Touch without losing what is already on this tablet? For example, I have iCloud associated with it, with photos stored there. Would I lose the ability to access and use iCloud if I no longer use Apple via this tablet?

      Can anyone help answer these three questions for me? Or tell me who I can ask instead?

      Thank you!
