Deaf Hearing Chat

About
DH Chat is a mobile phone and/or tablet application for face-to-face (or nearby) communication between deaf and hearing people that runs on two Bluetooth linked devices. For a deaf person it enables speech to be converted to text, which is sent to the device he/she is using and then, as necessary, responded to. In circumstances where one party is Deaf and uses sign language and the other doesn't, communication via text is possible. It is available for both Android (4.2 and higher) and Apple iOS (version requirements unknown) platforms and is downloadable from the appropriate sites. Most of what follows in this post relates to my assessment of DH Chat on two Android devices.

First post

This is the first post to test search.

 Here are some random words:

 Now some random text:

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Fifth post

 Random text.
The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected.
