Lipspeakers

Lipspeakers are used by people who are deaf and prefer to communicate through lipreading and speech. They repeat what’s said without using their voice, so others can read their lips easily.

They produce the shape of words clearly, with the flow, rhythm and phrasing of speech. They also use natural gestures and facial expressions to help people follow what is being said.

Lipspeakers should have a break about every 30 minutes. For assignments that are more than two hours long, you should book two lipspeakers.

To book a lipspeaker call us on 0845 685 8000 or submit an initial enquiry form.

Getting the right lipspeaker

Lipspeakers are regulated the National Registers of Communication Professionals working with Deaf and Deafblind People (NRCPD). Registered lipspeakers must maintain confidentiality and stay completely impartial.
