Technology for Deaf/Hard of Hearing


Sorenson Video Relay Service

This is a public videophone located in the Assistive Technology Center (ATC) available for use by Deaf/Hard of Hearing students and employees. Sorenson Video Relay Service allows people who are Deaf/Hard of Hearing to place telephone calls. The service works by allowing the user to see an ASL interpreter on a TV screen and sign to that person who then contacts the hearing user with a standard phone line, relaying the communication message between the two parties. The video relay service device also allows people who are Deaf/Hard of Hearing to contact other people who are Deaf/Hard of Hearing using sign language.
