Telebraille Relay Service

711 or 800-766-3777

Accessible for DeafBlind

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. The average typing speed is slower than traditional TTY relay and can be modified to be as slow as 5 words per minute.

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