video relay service
Video Relay Service (VRS) is a communication service that allows individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing to communicate with hearing people using sign language. 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 beneficial because it enables real-time communication, making conversations more natural and fluid compared to traditional text-based methods. It is widely used for personal, business, and emergency communications, ensuring that everyone can connect effectively, regardless of their hearing ability.
