This is the same problem as a regular person communicating with a deaf and blind person. I know someone who is deaf and blind, and he can't talk either. He has "communicators" who work shifts, and they spell things out onto his hands - each kind of touch on a different part of the hand means a different letter, and there are single-touch abbreviations for the commonest words. When he wants to talk back, they watch while he uses one hand to make these signs on his other hand, then they tell me what he was saying. You have to admire people who give up so much of their time like that to help others. One of them is mute, in fact, so the two of them can get on fine by themselves, but they need another communicator if they want to talk with me or with anybody else.

Lots of ways---Braille notes, regular written notes read by a translating program (via computer), sign language spelled into the hand (assuming the blind person can sign)....even Morse code could work.

Unusual question, though.

he needs one person beside him so that the mute can write and that person can read out & communicate to the blind person

Braille code. There a machines that create the "bumps" used in braille to be "read" by a blind person with their hands.

Yes, through sign language. They touch each others hands to feel the motions of the fingers.
