I don't know of a glove, but why couldn't the individual who is
deaf-blind use a Braille Lite to communicate. The Braille Lite has both
a speech synthesizer and braille display, The hearing person could hear
the speech from the Braille Lite and the deaf-blind person could read
what was written by the braille display. The hearing person would need
to know at least grade 1 braille to communicate with an individual.

Subject:
this is a bit off-topic but i was wondering if anyone was aware of any
device, such as a glove, which would enable people who are deafblind to
communicate more easily? for example, they could sign or fingerspell,
and
this would be converted into speech? even more fantastic would be a
device
which could 'interpret' from speech into the deafblind manual alphabet.
if
you have any info at all, pls contact me at dani.fried@ridbc.org.au
thanks!
