“speech to text” software (like Dragon) into a mobile phone.”

Not being an expert in the subject, but as a former medical technician I can suggest that there is some forms of that available already. However, many deaf have difficulty with speech. How would you have learned to make articulate sounding speech if you never heard the sounds to begin with? Very challenging I’m sure.

Recall when Rush was losing his hearing? We all noticed his speech / articulation changing and deteriorating before he announced what was happening. I think that even if you used to hear the sounds, your brain eventually will forget how to articulate them if you become profoundly deaf.

It’s always been a form of applied liberalism.

Years ago someone suggested fitting deaf kids with cochlear implants. There was a huge outcry against it from, of all people, the advocates for the deaf!
The thinking was that the kids would be removed from the deaf "community" and somehow injure them; giving the deaf the sense of hearing deprived them of some wonderful gift.

It dawned on me that these satanic bastards had created a protected class and curing these kids deprived them of the necessary clientele for their power base; something akin to the black "leaders" who oppose white parents adopting black children.

It seems amazing that there could be deaf parents who don’t want their kids to be able to hear.

Pretty much the same reasoning as the social workers use when they won’t place black orphans with white families.

It’s cultural apartheid.

Look up Lydia Callas. She grew up with deaf siblings & now does great ASL parody, like signing for the NYC mayor describing hurricane relief.

There's also text-to-speech (another good smartphone app for the deaf/mute), or just writing a note and showing it.

Kimmel’s sign interpretor’s vocal rendition sounded like the black interpretor was signing Obama off-teleprompter.

No. Each language has it’s own sign language. Even a difference between British and American sign language.

...these sign language hucksters are just for show anyway, designed to make the organizers of a given event look compassionate.

***
Especially when the signer is practically on top of the speaker. I find it very distracting. For the viewing audience, a small pop-up screen could be provided, and, for those in attendance, the signer could stand off to the side.
