How to Send vCard via Bluetooth on Sidekick 3

Speaking and signing at the same time, in Pidgin Signed English, I show you how to set your contact information in your addressbook as your vCard. Then I show you how to turn on Bluetooth and send your vCard to other SK3s.

are you deaf or are you just showing sign language??

[azsingersigner]

I'm hearing, and I'm an ASL interpreter. I'm signing while speaking because a lot of deaf people use Sidekicks and I'm reaching out to include them in my audience for this video.

The Sidekick 3 only allows two things to be transmitted via Bluetooth: phone signal via wireless headset and address book contacts (vCard).

deaf people cant use bluetooth

[azsingersigner]

As I wrote to adamaah, Bluetooth is a wireless transmission frequency not limited to wireless cellphone headsets. I'm typing this to you on a Bluetooth keyboard right now. Deaf people can use Bluetooth.

[becoyned]

guy, you are awesome. to actually sign this for the deaf too, that's just extremely thoughtful

[jjxxc]

ohh thats kool and nice

[50bop]

wicked signing skillz

[hammerstamp]

i want to learn sign language soooooooooooo bad.

[azsingersigner]

Yes, but it only works to send and receive vCards and to use the phone with a handsfree headset.

[azsingersigner]

As I said in the video, sending a vCard bypasses the need to ask someone to spell out their e-mail address, phone number, or street address, because the vCard has all that information in one packet. Via Bluetooth wireless transmission, you can send another SK3 user all of your contact information with a just a few keystrokes.

There are a lot of deaf people that use youtube.  Just input "deaf" of "American sign language."

[azsingersigner]

Bluetooth isn't just for headsets. Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology that can also be used to send and receive files, such as contact information.

I'm not sure how they would be able to function with the bluetooth headset. But I know that there is a relay program on the sk.

[Miguelito203]

Cool. Thanks for the info.

[azsingersigner]

Yes, Miguelito, I used PSE in this video because it's impossible to sign ASL and speak English at the same time since the two languages have distinct grammars. As for whether PSE is used more often than ASL, I don't know. I still see both ASL and PSE used by young and old people alike. Bilingualism and "contact language" or pidgin language is a complex cultural phenomenon; many conscious and unconscious factors influence a person's language choices from moment to moment.

[numba4444]

that was awsome!!!

[Miguelito203]

It says in the caption that he is using PSE. I have read it is now more used than ASL by younger people.  Do you find this to be true?
