A survey by the World Federation of Deaf in 1988 showed that 80 percent of deaf live in the so-called developing countries but only 1 percent of the children were enrolled in primary education. Twelve years ago Bob began asking God, “How is it possible to bring literacy to these folks using computer technology?” Today, Bob is sharing a new free Windows program that can help the deaf to learn to read any text oral language using any hand signs as meaning prompts. Could you volunteer to add your oral text or sign language hand signs to the His Hands Reader reading program?? Please comment below which language you would like to add and then contact Bob via the web site. It takes only one week to add your 1700 words or signs to the His Hands Reader multi-lingual lexicon. All languages are welcome… even right to left text or home or village hand signs.
Take a look at a video screen capture of a His Hands Reader primer being read on GoogleVideo. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=305522946098254846&hl=en
And also on the Chinese site…

Reading primers can also be shown on TV where deaf do not have access to computers.
