@@haben_girma I see, I am impressed with the quality of your speech, I wonder how differently the speech center of the brain develops in cases such as yours.
This is really wholesome! I’ve recently started learning more languages, and realized just how much I was missing. And this is a type of language, to be sure. It was beautiful to watch.
One thing I noticed though-and this is so easy to do as sighted individuals because we take it for granted-because we are typing and that woman is so articulate, I noticed that sometimes the girl in blue would laugh… but did she type “haha” because otherwise, the other woman won’t know that. But you almost take it for granted that she can read your body language - I would imagine it _almost_ seems like it would start to feel like you’re typing into a translator. Anyway, just something I picked up on while watching. There are so many cues that are potentially being missed. It would take practice but I would think that with time (if one communicated to someone this way after a while) that you would start inserting comments like “I’m grinning” or “I’m laughing”.
Communicating through text is an art that strengthens over time. How you interact when you first meet is going to be different from your 100th conversation. Some people feel so overwhelmed they never try. I want to create space for people to feel safe learning together. Thank you for such a thoughtful comment! ❤️
@@haben_girma You’re right- this is her first time trying it, so it would take some time to get used to it. I respect you so much! I don’t know how you do it. I’m not sure what program you use in order to decipher these comments. I hope that it does more than the bare minimum. There are so many nuances even in this comment that you might miss, for instance when I put an exclamation point, does it tell you that? When I put a double hyphen instead of a comma, does it tell you that? Because all these things add nuance. When I break for a new paragraph, does it tell you? See, I’m operating with the child’s understanding - as if the program is reading this to you like when I highlight texts and have them read to me on my phone. But I am a sighted person with full hearing. I just think about these small things… they are things we take for granted but I want to make sure sighted and hearing impaired people are receiving all they should from these developers of these programs. Random personal note: I am what you would call a codependent person (which is not something I’m proud of). I am one of those crazies who seeks understanding to a probably an obsessive degree. I hate the thought of being misunderstood, which is why I over-explain. I am one of those annoying people who sends texts that are paragraphs, haha, but it’s because I want to make sure I’m not missing any subtleties. If I could let someone plug into my brain so that they’d get a clearer understanding of what I am saying or meaning, I would. So, to be blind and/or deaf takes that to such another level. This is why I respect you so much. I apologize if any of this came across as condescending. I am trying, haha, like I said.
@@simplicitylost You’re trying to understand, and that is the most important thing. Thank you for trying! For a better understanding of how blind or Deafblind people use the internet look up “VoiceOver for iOS.”
Thank you! You may enjoy listening to my audiobook (we recorded it while I read the book in Braille). It’s called Haben and it’s on Audible and many other bookshops.
I found you through another video and I must say you are the inspiration I needed right now. Thank you so much for being such a strong and incredible individual because it positively effects everyone around you. 🤙
I've learned sign for my hoh mom. Even now I sign regularly with friends over discord and at work. I take pride in learning how to communicate with cultures that need more bridges!
I saw a clip of this video on Daily Dose of Internet a few weeks ago, but I was reminded of it while reading a section on communication technology in my textbook for Deaf History, "The Deaf Community in America," and became very curious about what the electronic Braille TTY used in the video was called.
Daily dose of internet brought me here too! Someone asked why you only read the far right part of your device and now I'm curious too. I'm guessing it's because either the device doesn't actually use its full length to display braille or because you're so used to braille you can figure out the words by the last letters only, but you tell me!
I love this interaction ma lady! You both should be knighted. :-) You've asked me to expound on some statements I've made on Instagram, so I know how Milana feels. 🥰
How does she read the comments Is not even like to be bad just curious and holly molly she speak so well I never heard someone speak so good being deaf or even if she is partially deaf man she really is different to how good is her voice
The Braille computer in the video can connect to phones and laptops, popping up Braille that appears on screen. That is a short description of how a Deafblind person can read RUclips comments. 🤟
I had more hearing when I was younger, which is why I speak the way I do. That said, society needs to respect all voices regardless of whether there is an accent or someone signs. Let’s create a culture where all voices are valued. 🤟

How fascinating, I come here from daily dose’s by the way.
Me too
Welcome! Hope you enjoy some of the videos here!
Same!!
@@haben_girma so happy to have found you!!
I’m also here from daily dose 😂
I am immensley impressed with the quality of her voice, I wonder how she learned.
yes interesting, maybe she lost hearing later.

Daily Dose of Internet did a real good job talking about this innovation 🎉
Thank you for inviting us into your world, Haben. May all the comments be kind.
Thank YOU for dropping by hear to let me know you enjoyed the video! 🤟
I too came from daily dose. The way you say "Yes" sounds so angelic, I wanted to hear more🥺
Me too! A single word and I thought, who is this sweet lady.
this is such a beautiful video. Beautiful friendship. I am so happy I came across this channel. Thank you.
I'm so glad Daily Dose was able to send me here!!! You both seem lovely!
Hi and welcome! So glad you enjoyed the video!
The power of love and support. You can do and succeed at anything when you "Feel" loved and have a sense of belonging.
This was a lovely interaction and i enjoyed witnessing it. Saw a short clip on daily dose of internet; that brought me here.
Thanks for coming by here after Daily Dose, and letting me know you enjoyed my conversation with Milana! ❤️
I'm glad you can speak and read by touching the Braille that's very awesome!
This is really wholesome! I’ve recently started learning more languages, and realized just how much I was missing. And this is a type of language, to be sure. It was beautiful to watch.
You are like an angel. So sweet and lovable. The way you talk is soothing and lifting at the same time! Sending all the love from China!
You’re very kind to say that! If you can, help lift up the voices of disabled people in China. ❤️
@@haben_girma I will! I’m a software product designer, and I’m adding features to help disabled users now. 😃

@@philhipp7766 You’re so welcome! What do you feel inspired to do?
Haben, I love your voice! I would enjoy it if you recorded for Audiobooks. 😄 Hope you have a great day!

It’s called a BrailleNote Touch. :)

Great question! The letters come in on the right side of the computer, so everything to the left of my fingers is content I’ve already read.
I love this interaction ma lady! You both should be knighted. :-) You've asked me to expound on some statements I've made on Instagram, so I know how Milana feels. 🥰
She role models vulnerability beautifully!
@@haben_girma Milana has stood up for body shaming and sexism in the past... she's a fabulous individual.🥰
@@haben_girma ❤
This was amazing!
Your laugh is wonderful!
Thank you! 🤟
this is awesome
Thanks!
Is the lady in Blue, Lily of AT&T?
How does she read the comments
Is not even like to be bad just curious
and holly molly she speak so well I never heard someone speak so good being deaf or even if she is partially deaf man she really is different to how good is her voice

I asked an AAC expert if this counts as AAC, and they didn't know
This is very interesting
There can't be too many women this attractive with no mirrors in the house. Maybe one for the guests.
Good friends and family may offer the best kind of visual feedback.
sick video
Thanks!
You talk amazingly well for a deaf person, are you fully deaf? we’re you hearing before and that’s how you learned how to speak?
I had more hearing when I was younger, which is why I speak the way I do. That said, society needs to respect all voices regardless of whether there is an accent or someone signs. Let’s create a culture where all voices are valued. 🤟
❤❤❤
I'm confused. Is the black woman both blind and deaf, or just blind?
both. That's why she has to rely on touching this thing in front of her to know what was said to her
I’m reading Milana’s words in Braille because I’m Deafblind. The computer pops up Braille as she types.
Milana is beautiful and I bet very sweet.
how can she speak so clearly if she's deaf
Deaf people speak with different voices, accents, hands, pens, keys… I had more hearing when I was younger and that is why I speak the way I do.
@@haben_girma ah it was gradual hearing loss, sorry to hear that
She cute
This is great. The AT&T lapel pin has me distracted.
