Video Relay Service (VRS) lets people use sign language when making phone calls. With VRS, a caller using sign language can communicate with a live VRS interpreter by using a video connection. The VRS interpreter signs the telephone conversation with a sign language user and voices to a hearing person who uses a standard telephone. There is no charge to use VRS.
Benefits of Using VRS:
- Speed - Conversations are faster and more natural than traditional relay services.
- Feels Natural - Sign language users can express themselves naturally, including facial expressions and body language.
- Functional Equivalency - The ease and speed of conversation are similar to a hearing-to-hearing call.
- You Can Interrupt ( and no "GA") - It's a natural two-way conversation with no long waits.
- No Need To Worry Over English - Slow typists and exclusive sign language users dont face any communication barriers.
- Privacy - All calls are confidental to maintain your privacy.
- No Delays With Automated Telephone Transfer System - You can get through those "...for customer service, press one" phone systems much faster and easier than ever before.
- Equipment Choices - Works with most videophone systems, which means that you can choose the videophone you want.
