Yesterday, I took an action item for guideline 1.1 to propose a benefit for deaf users. The benefit of text alternatives for audio information for deaf users is that it can potentially be transformed into sign language with some yet to be developed signing avatar assistive technology. There is already a benefit of this type under this guideline. People who are deaf, are hard of hearing, or who are having trouble understanding audio information for any reason can read the text presentation or have it translated and presented as sign language by assistive technology. Is this sufficient or do we need to re-write this benefit to use the term "signing avatar"?
