I do not have a direct answer to Joel D. Goldfield's question, but let
me point to two possible trails:
1. Dr. Marshall Wicks from Gallaudet University in Washington DC will
have answers, I am sure. I do ot have his bitnet address but you can
contact him via CTL on Accunet (Minitel format) under the pseudonym
"Goofie", or you can write to him.
2. Again on CTL (minitel format, but also available through Alex in
Montreal), there is a hidden forum called Surdi, organized by French
deaf people. You would find a lot of information there. One engineer
can be reached there (she is deaf too) and she could tell you a lot
about a videodisk thatwas designed in CNET for teaching lip reading
(French lip reading that is, but I understand that it is very close to the
American standard, unlike the British equicvalent, strangely enough).
She can be reached under the pseudo "Josefina".
Hope this helps.

Software for the Deaf:
The Centre for Speech Technology Research, University of Victoria,
B.C., Canada has developed some interesting software for "visible
speech" - the deaf student sees the waveform of model speech and
can aim to produce a waveform to match it, substituting visible
feedback for the audio feedback he/she cannot receive. The software
is used in teaching deaf children to speak.
