I assume you are referring to Helen Keller. She had trained interpeters who would spell coded information into her hands, a form of sign language. it strikes me the same methodology could be used by and variations are, non-handicapped stage mind readers. there was a tale of a blindfolded mind-reader who had a small walkie talkie modified to receive only in her turban! Code messages were transmitted from offstage. (man is wearing a Blue tie and has a watch in his vest pocket) for example.She would have to be surrounded by special touch-language interprerers. It is known she could talk- oddly no recordings have survived or have not been publicized by family interests.

Helen Keller, who was deaf and blind, learned to communicate through touch and sign language. She would feel the vibrations of people's voices by placing her hands on their throats or lips, or by feeling their signs if they signed into her palm. Through this tactile communication, Helen was able to understand what people were saying.

Helen Keller was taught to talk by Anne Sullivan. Helen could feel the vibrations of the sounds by putting her hand on Anne's face. Then she learned to say the sounds herself and put the words together. She first learned to say the sentence, "I am not dumb."

Helen Keller used mainly two methods to understand other people. She felt the fingerspelling alphabet by feeling it in her hand. And with the Tadoma method, she placed her hand with fingers on the lips and throat and the thumb near the nose of a person who was talking and was able to "lipread" their speech.
