People who are DeafBlind or have low vision can use a TTY and/or Telebraille device to type words to a Communications Assistant who then speaks the typed words to the other caller, and types all spoken words back to the DeafBlind caller. Based on the TTY user’s preference, Communications Assistant may adjust the text transmission speed from 5 word per minute (WPM) to 60 WPM.

English-to-Spanish and Spanish-to-English translations are also available for Telebraille Relay customers.
