Whatever you're comfortable with.

If you're more comfortable without the contact details, go ahead with it.

The comfort of those who wish a response is most important.

Your device may have a text-to-speech device, so you can type what you want to say and the device will read it out loud for you.

Where is this device?

[codecmoment]

whoops i meant app
like an application?
do you know how to navigate your device they give you here? there's a screen with little icons that take you to different things you can do. like PrismaGram or a calculator.
look for the "Text to Speech" one, if any
if not I can try to find one for you!

[instilled]

Please do not trouble yourself.
Which icon ought to be looked for?

[codecmoment]

Kind of like this!

[torsion]

Funny. I'm responding to you and that's how I feel. :)

+1 to the person who said whatever you're most comfortable with. Don't feel like you have to jump through other people's hoops for the sake of a conversation. If someone's cool they'll roll with whatever you do.

you could try to learn sign language?

[Hold. Everything.

Their sibling knows how to use this typing thing?

The Knight promptly turns on their camera, mimes typing for a bit, and then lifts up their hands in a gesture of frustration and confusion. They then extend one of those hands to The Hollow Knight imploringly.

Please help them learn this strange skill.]

I was unable to speak once.

Do you want to learn sign language?

[instilled]

You are very kind, but please do not feel the need to show concern.
Being understood is most important.
There is no voice to respond to questions asked.
Which of the above options would be best for all involved?

[instilled]

Seen.
Thank you.

[instilled]

Please do not trouble yourself with concern.
It is important to give information when it is asked.
With no voice to speak relaying such can often be difficult.
The most comfortable way would be the easiest for those who seek the information.

[instilled]

Thank you for your suggestion.
Where may resources be found?

Re: text

[instilled]

It is good that you were given a voice.
Sign language may be most simple.
Do you know of any resources available?

[ Every other message that was answering the question was ignored the moment the Hollow Knight saw its sibling. It didn't take it long to understand what they meant; they wanted to be shown how to type, as Lobco had shown it.

The Hollow Knight nodded, got to its feet, and, with the camera still running, made its way into the hall outside of its apartment. The intention to go look for the Knight was obvious. ]

[scarfox]

Problem with that is that the person seeking the information might have their own issues too. Someone who's... I don't know, blind, for example, wouldn't be able to see any signs or written words, but for someone who's deaf those would work just fine. Then if you have someone who's hard of seeing AND hard of hearing, it becomes way more complicated.

The answer depends on the audience, is what I'm getting at I guess.

[instilled]

Yes, not everyone can be easily accommodated.
The neural link of before is simplest.
But also not accessible.
In the meantime other options should be considered.

[passio]

Not here. Someone taught me, but I can’t remember who.

I can try to teach you the basics. I know how hard it is when you can’t make yourself understood.

[instilled]

This would be possible.
You can be repaid with whatever level of chroma gain you wish.

[codecmoment]

You're welcome! Good luck out there. People who want to talk with you won't mind having to stumble around a bit to do so.

[instilled]

You may ask for any level of moonlacing that you require as repayment for your time.
Please feel free to do so at your leisure.

[codecmoment]

That's not necessary! I'm a helper and don't need anything in return.
