Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS)
The Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) is a communication service that enables individuals with hearing or speech disabilities to connect with others using standard telephone services. TRS allows users to communicate through a relay operator who facilitates the conversation between the person with a disability and the hearing individual, ensuring effective communication.
TRS is available 24/7 and can be accessed through various methods, including text telephone (TTY), video relay service (VRS), and captioned telephone service. This service is essential for promoting accessibility and inclusivity in communication, allowing everyone to participate in conversations regardless of their abilities.
