Andy, who stutters, shared that before using Speech-to-Speech, he often worried about how people on the other end of the phone might react. Since discovering the service, that has changed. “I make all my phone calls independently now,” he said.

Andy’s comment came from his real experience using Speech-to-Speech and navigating phone calls in everyday life.

Dylan uses Speech-to-Speech to make phone calls more manageable. “Speech-to-Speech makes it easier for me to communicate with other people on the other line,” he shared.

Dylan has cerebral palsy and talking on the phone can take effort in more than one way. It is not only about being understood, but it can also be tiring to hold the phone, manage the call, and stay focused through each step.

“And also, yeah, yeah, it’s tiresome to just sit there all day with your phone up to your ear, you know?” he shared.

Speech-to-Speech allows people with speech disabilities to speak for themselves in their own voice. A trained operator repeats the user’s words clearly so the other person can understand.

For someone who also has limited mobility, fewer taps and fewer screens can matter. Those small changes can help save energy before the conversation even begins.

Dylan’s comments come from his real experience using Speech-to-Speech and navigating phone calls in everyday life.

Tourette Syndrome can include motor or vocal tics that are often beyond a person’s control. While tics don’t define intelligence or professionalism, situations like phone interviews, virtual meetings, or other calls can feel especially stressful.

Mississippi Relay can help take the stress out of making important phone calls with services designed specifically for people with speech differences.

With Hearing Carry-Over (HCO), and IP Relay you have the option of typing out your message and having your words spoken on calls for you by a communications assistant.

IP Relay makes this calling option available on phones, tablets, or computers through the IP Relay app.

HCO offers the same style of calling service but through a landline HCO device.

During Tourette Syndrome Awareness Month, we recognize that everyone deserves communication options that reduce stress and support confidence. Accessible tools help people show up as the professionals they are! Learn more about our relay services for people with speech differences by visiting MississippiRelay.com

Huntington’s disease can affect movement, thinking, and speech, making phone conversations more difficult over time. No matter where someone is in their journey, relay services are here to help support accessible communication.

Services like Speech‑to‑Speech (STS), Hearing Carry-Over (HCO), and IP Relay give people with Huntington’s the flexibility to communicate in ways that work best for them—so their thoughts are shared clearly and confidently, even when speech differences arise.

This month, we raise awareness and reaffirm that everyone deserves to be heard and understood!
