[cisco-voip] Endpoint accessibility options for deaf

Not really IPT, but the only thing I have seen customer’s use is Sprint Captel.  http://www.sprintrelay.com/sprint_relay_services/sprint_ip_relay_service.php

Subject: [cisco-voip] Endpoint accessibility options for deaf


Good morning!

I had a conversation with one of our accessibility services folks yesterday around providing communications options for deaf students or potential students. I am curious if anyone on the list has had any experience with this or has any opinions or suggestions.

Challenge number one is getting some more convenient communications options for students at our regional campuses to connect to the accessibility office on the main campus. We're going to try out some 8945 IP phones to start out with, and if it works out functionally, explore some higher end EX models for better overall experience. The main idea is to have visual communication for sign language. Jabber may also be an option in the future for this if we roll out IM&P.

Along those lines, they are also curious if there are any endpoints on the market with video AND TTY capability; I'm 99.99% sure Cisco doesn't have that up their sleeve so I'm doing a little research on 3rd party SIP. Has anyone seen such a creature?

We're also exploring Jabber Guest as a way to reach out to prospective students, researchers, etc, with similar challenges.

Definitely interested in any thoughts on the subject, thanks!

Ed
