In a panel last Tuesday, I used a gentle two‑finger tap at the base of the index hand to mark a new speaker, then traced a short line toward the speaker’s location for orientation. Is that widely recognized where you work, or have you found a clearer, low‑fatigue cue that DeafBlind clients prefer?
Your “two‑finger tap” works, but my DB regulars tend to catch a gentle double knuckle tap at the radial wrist plus a tiny palm compass swipe more reliably — less finger fatigue, and it reads like a quick page‑turn. Ever try numbering panelists and echoing 1–4 taps before the orientation when turn‑taking gets chaotic?
On longer panels, I’ve had better luck with a tiny lift-set of the receive hand to mark the change, then a quick touch on the corresponding shoulder for orientation instead of the palm “short line”; it keeps palm fatigue down… If shoulder cues aren’t preferred, I switch to a back-of-hand micro-arc toward the source — @OP that’s been clearer with fast multi-speaker Q&As.
