Words can be entered into a computer character by character using sign language by a pair of gloves having electrodes disposed on their surfaces. When a sign is made, circuits are established between various combinations of electrodes which uniquely identify the sign being made. Signs are read out using a hand tapper comprising a plate having a hand-shaped recess on its surface. Solenoids having tapper pins are disposed beneath the bottom of the recess and at the sides of the recess to allow the hand to be stimulated on its front and sides, thereby producing the sensation of being signed on by another person. The gloves and tapper can be used in a tactile telephone which allows communication between deaf and blind persons, for data entry and read-out, and for allowing deaf blind access to literature via electronic media, such as computer discs or e- mail.
