Is it true that there is only 1 universal sign language and you can communicate with everyone on the world who knows sign language. Or is that just a myth? If true, presto universal translator!

Natural language is always faster than text. Sign language, once learned, is a natural language and signers can sign with blazing speed. If the translator (Kinect in this case) can interpret the signs as fast as someone can create them, then I think it'd replace TTY completely.
TTY being the current telecommunication means between the hearing and hearing impared. The possible exception might be 911.
