TTY (Text Telephone)<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

VCO (Voice Carry Over)<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Voice Carry Over (VCO) is an effective service for people who have hearing loss and use their voice on the phone. VCO users speak directly to the person being called and, through specialized equipment, read what is spoken by the other party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeafBlind Service (DBS)<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

DeafBlind Service (DBS) allows people with combined hearing and vision loss to place and receive telephone calls. DBS users type their messages and read the other person\u2019s responses, typed by the Operator (OPR), on a braille display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speech-to-Speech (STS)<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

CapTel\u00ae (Captioned Telephone)<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Captioned Telephone (CapTel) is useful for individuals who have some amount of hearing loss, making it difficult to understand what is being said over the phone. With CapTel, users speak directly to the other party and listen while reading captions of what\u2019s said to them. Captions appear on the bright, built-in display screen of the uniquely designed CapTel phone, just moments after the other party has spoken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voice<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hamilton Relay allows standard phone users to communicate with individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing, deaf-blind or have difficulty speaking and who may use a TTY, TeleBraille or other assistive telecommunications device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you place a call through Hamilton Relay, your side of the conversation is typed by the Operator (OPR) and \u201crelayed\u201d to the person you are calling. The OPR then voices typed responses from that person for you to hear. It\u2019s a simple, easy and effective way to communicate with family, friends and others who are important to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
