Video Relay Service (VRS)
Video Relay Service (VRS) is a telecommunications service that enables individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing to communicate with hearing people using video technology. In VRS, a sign language interpreter facilitates the conversation by interpreting spoken language into sign language and vice versa. This service is typically accessed through a video phone or a computer with a webcam.
VRS is part of a broader range of services designed to improve communication access for people with hearing disabilities. It is often used in conjunction with other services like Text Telephone (TTY) and Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) to enhance accessibility in various settings, including personal and professional environments.
