Video Relay Service
www.ohvrs.com

Sprint and CSD are proud to offer www.ohvrs.com – the communication solution for American Sign Language (ASL) users. Video Relay Service (VRS) allows natural telephone communication between ASL users and standard telephone users. This service is easily accessible from home, office or when you are traveling. Communications flows through a qualified video interpreter (VI) via a desktop or laptop computer with video conference capability.

When connecting to www.ohvrs.com, the ASL user signs to the VI, who voices what he/she is saying to the other party. Emotions and facial expressions are conveyed via video, allowing both parties to be fully involved. OHVRS makes phone calls natural both callers are free to interrupt one another, no typing is required, no “GA’s” needed. OHVRS makes clear telephone communication a breeze!
