Advanced Video Communication Solutions for the Hearing Impaired and Modern Business
With new phone system, seeing is hearing. Thanks to the installation of a new, technologically-advanced device called the Z-150, deaf/hearing impaired employees now can speak to, and see, one another over the phone. The Z-150 is a video phone system with a camera and monitor that allows communications to travel over the network, similar to a computer. It uses a relay interpreter service, so hearing-impaired employees can have conversations with other people who are not hearing impaired.
Empowering Accessibility with Video Relay Services
A relay person, or a sign language interpreter, visually communicates to the hearing-impaired person who has the Z-150 through the monitor. "This is to help our hearing-impaired employees, so they will have less dependence on an interpreter or interpretation services," said Susan McClintick, an information assurance specialist. Instead of having to physically meet with the hearing-impaired employees to interpret each time they use the phone, the Z-150 connects to an answering service and a live person signs and translates to the deaf caller.
David Harman, an engineering technician and the first hearing impaired employee within the Tinker Air Force side to use a Z-150, noted its impact: "It's wonderful. It helped me to be independent myself, and I can call anyone, anywhere. I don't have to depend on people calling for me." The phone also allows hearing-impaired employees to call other people who have Z-150 phones, and the interpreter drops out of the picture. Additionally, if a person has a cochlear implant, then that person has the option to actually speak to the interpreter from the answering service.
