Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ

Who buys the UbiDuo?

The UbiDuo can be used anywhere at home, in the office, at businesses and agencies where deaf, hard of hearing and hearing customers, co-workers, employers, or clients need to communicate and a sign language interpreter is not available immediately.

Does it need internet or wi-fi access?

No. The UbiDuo communicates on its own secured wireless frequency.

Is the UbiDuo a TTY/TDD?

The UbiDuo is not designed to be a TTY/TDD, but it can be connected to a telephone jack to communicate with another UbiDuo.

What is the wireless range?

The UbiDuo set can communicate with each other at range of up to 500 feet.

Is the UbiDuo portable?

Yes. The UbiDuo weighs 6 lbs. Its patented hinge technology allows both half units to lock together, and it has built-in handle.

How many people can use it at once?

The UbiDuo can be used between two, three, or four people. The UbiDuo is sold in a set of two halves.

How is the UbiDuo different from IM or e-mail?

The patented split-screen allows each person to type and read text at the same time. You do not need to wait for the other person to finish typing before you respond. Both can type and read live in real-time, letter by letter. The UbiDuo is a stand alone communication device that can be carried anywhere anytime.

Can you change the display font?

Yes. The font size is adjustable between 12 to 24 points to meet individual user preferences.

Does it have reverse background?

Yes. The split-screen display can be toggled to show white text on dark solid background.

No. The UbiDuo can, however, be connected to a PC to allow the chat log to be transferred and then printed.

How do I get a replacement battery?

If you are experiencing a problem, we suggest you contact our Technical Support department, listed on the right, to troubleshoot before determining if your unit needs a new battery.

UbiDuo Training Webinar - February 22, 2012

Communication Rights for Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and Hearing

This Webinar will cover the communication rights for deaf. We will discuss how the UbiDuo empowers the communication rights for deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing people.  We will talk about not only deaf and hard of hearing have rights to communication but hearing people also have rights to communication. Equal communication goes both ways for both deaf and hearing people who want to interact with each other.  If one is willing to use the UbiDuo and the other is not,  it is preventing deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing people from communicating with each other face-to-face.  We will explain what communication rights means and how important it is to the face-to-face communication process.   We will discuss how the UbiDuo can provide equal communiation rights for both deaf, hard of hearing, and hearing users.  Participants will learn what the UbiDuo is, how it can be used, and about different UbiDuo users in different environments. A Q&A session will be held at the conclusion of the Webinar.  This Webinar will be beneficial for people who want to know more about what their communication rights are.  

PLEASE NOTE:  This Webinar will begin 4:00pm Eastern, 3pm Central, 2pm Mountain and 1pm Pacific.  Please email jnorthcraft@scomm.com 48 hours before the start of the Webinar if you require captioning.  This is NOT A TRAINING WEBINAR.
