AT&T Launches Video Relay Service for Hearing Impaired

AT&T introduced a web-based service that enables deaf and hard of hearing people to communicate over the phone more easily by using American Sign Language (ASL). The AT&T Video Relay Service uses a webcam at the customer end to communicate with a nationally certified interpreter who relays the conversation over the phone in spoken language to the hearing party.
