A user interface is presented for a hearing-impaired user to make selections that influence how that user participates in a video conference and how other participants in that video conference interact with the hearing-impaired user. For example, through appropriate user interface selections, the hearing-impaired user may specify that he/she is to always preview (for editing purposes, etc.) any sign language translations made by a video conferencing system before those translations are released to the other participants, whether as text and/or speech. Through other user interface selections, the user may configure linguistic and/or playback characteristics associated with the sign-language-to-speech translations, with speech signals being produced so as to include certain effects when played out at the endpoints of the other participants and/or emulate a desirable video conference persona from the standpoint of the hearing-impaired user.
