IP-RELAY.com was the first service to offer deaf and hard of hearing persons the ability
to place calls over the Internet. Calls terminating within the United States are placed
confidentially and free of charge. Users have the ability to request a male or female
operator based on preference. IP-RELAY.com users are not required to register or
provide proof of disability. Calls can be placed either by the Call Now option which
automatically connects to a relay operator at the click of a button or through the
Custom Calling option which gives you the ability to customize communication.
In addition to voice-assisted calls, IP-RELAY.com users can place Video Relay calls.
IP-RELAY VRS allows you to communicate with anyone you want using sign language
and the speed of the Internet. Through the use of a Video Interpreter and video
conferencing you and the person you're calling can communicate in the language which
is most natural for you. It's simple! You sign to a relay interpreter who communicates
to the voice caller and then in turn signs the voice users response back to you.
Video Interpreters are certified by the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID)
and/or National Association of the Deaf (NAD IV/V). Interpreters are required to meet
strict codes of ethics and so you can be assured of confidentiality.
