her teacher, Anne Sullivan (the "miracle-worker" later portrayed in books, plays, movies, etc. often under the title "the miracle worker") had taught Keller sign language by shaping her hands into each letter. being both blind and deaf obviously made this incredibly difficult, as there's not much you can link the hand sign for "A," for example. What is the letter "A" to a person who's been deaf and blind since before they were two years old? in any case, Keller's (and Sullivan's) determination led to Keller successfully completing college with Sullivan by her side to interpret her professors' lectures.

in short, she hand-signed her book to an interpreter; and although i do not know the name of the interpreter, I'm sure you could do a simple web search and find it. it may have even been Sullivan, as they obviously had an incredibly close bond by the time Keller was writing her book. anyway, this was something i'd often wondered myself. Keller also learned to read braille, and was actually able to read lips by placing her fingers on the speaker's lips.
