Relay Texas is a service that provides telephone access for people with speech or hearing loss who find it challenging to use a traditional telephone.

Some people with hearing or speech loss have difficulty using a traditional telephone. Instead, many of these individuals enrich their lives by utilizing specialized telephones such as Teletypewriters (TTY) and other devices to
place calls through a telephone relay service (TRS) such as Relay Texas. Relay services allow the user to communicate with friends, loved ones, business associates, and service providers so they may participate in daily community life.

Each year on October 15, we recognize Blind Americans Equality Day and White Cane Awareness Day, a time to celebrate accessibility, independence, and equal opportunity for individuals who are Blind, DeafBlind, or have low vision.

The white cane is more than a mobility tool. It is a powerful symbol of independence, self-determination, and the right to full participation in every aspect of community life. This day also serves as a reminder of the progress that has been made in accessibility while encouraging continued efforts to create a more inclusive society for people with vision loss.

At Relay Texas, we are committed to advancing accessible communication through no-cost relay services that help individuals who are DeafBlind or Deaf or Hard of Hearing with low vision stay connected. Services such as TeleBraille Relay, VCO with large display, IP Relay, and Relay Conference Captioning (RCC) provide greater access to telephone conversations, virtual meetings, employment opportunities, healthcare, and everyday communication.

Join us in promoting equity, accessibility, and inclusion for all. Share this post to help raise awareness about accessible communication services and the resources available to support independence and connection.

While it is frequently temporary, it can sometimes be permanent. Sensorineural hearing loss is less common but permanent. It occurs when there are changes in the inner ear or auditory nerve, affecting the transmission of sound signals to the brain."]

During Blindness Awareness Month, we recognize the importance of creating an inclusive world where people who are DeafBlind or are Deaf with Low Vision have equal access to communication, information, and opportunities.

At Relay Texas, we are dedicated to offering no-cost communication services that help individuals stay connected, independent, and engaged with their communities.

Some of the resources we offer are:

TeleBraille: Connects individuals who are DeafBlind using TeleBraille devices and allowing them to communicate over the phone through relay services.

IP Relay: Enables individuals to place and receive calls through an internet-connected device. Users type their conversation and a relay operator voices their message to the hearing party while typing responses back. IP Relay is designed to be screen-reader compatible.

Relay Conference Captioning (RCC): Provides real-time captions for video meetings, webinars, and conference calls. RCC makes virtual meetings more accessible through fully customizable fonts and colors as well as screen-reader compatibility.
