MyClearText provides high quality on-site and remote speech-to-text reporting for deaf people. Founded by Elaine McCarthy and Orla Pearson who both trained at the only full-time stenography course in Europe. What is Speech-To-Text? Using a stenography machine, writers can write up to 300 words per minute using a phonetic theory keyboard. The text is instantly translated and appears live on a laptop or big screen as subtitles.

Tankerton Football Club Deaf Team

The Tankerton Deaf Team for under 6’s to under 12’s. Tankerton FC is a progressive club with an excellent reputation having been Kent FA Standard Charter Development Club of the Year for two years running before being awarded Community Club Status this year.  By having a specialist deaf team, it provides opportunities for the deaf children to come together to play and meet other deaf children of a similar age.  It also gives the parents and carers a chance to meet other people who have deaf children, share experiences, gain support and knowledge and reduce both the children and their isolation.
