Unlike older text-based communication com-munication devices, like Text Telephone Relay (TTY), where the deaf or hard-of-hearing type their responses to a text operator opera-tor who reads the text to a hearing hear-ing user, VRS facilitates realtime real-time communication, allowing for quicker responses. Additionally, Sorenson VRS enables ASL users to communicate communi-cate expressions, emotions and intent through video. So far, Sorenson has given 10 videophones and five DSL Internet lines for UVSC students stu-dents to have in their homes, and several more terminals for campus use. Sharelle Webb, an advisor of the deaf for UVSC Accessibility Services, has a ter minal in her office and absolutely absolute-ly loves it. "This is just a great system" she said through an interpreter. "It is so much better than using a TTY because TTY is so boring. There's no expression and no real voice. Ever since I've gotten this machine, I've been so addicted." addict-ed." Jim Sorenson, CEO of Sorenson Media, was greeted with a different sort of applause from the UVSC deaf students when he came to preset five systems sys-tems to students April 23. He was applauded by thankful audience audi-ence members as they waved their hands in the air next to their faces- how the deaf applaud. "It's a real honor to provide this new service in the community," commu-nity," Sorenson said. "Our com pany had provided video communication com-munication over the Internet for some time now, and one project we have sought from the beginning begin-ning was to provide products for the deaf for the education and communication. It's been a great pleasure for us to have been involved with this." The videophones are just one way the deaf and hard-of-hearing can use VRS. It is also possible possi-ble through a personal computer with Sorenson EnVision video relay software, or Microsoft NetMeeting and a Web camera. Sorenson and Webb both expect the VRS technology to spread worldwide. "Our goal was to create a reliable service, which leverages our relay and video compression solutions to deliver the highest-quality video images," Sorenson said. "Sorenson VRS now enables millions mil-lions of people, who traditionally have been limited by slower and more restrictive methods of communication, com-munication, to communicate flu-idly flu-idly with the hearing world at a minute's notice."
