Let’s talk about Relay Conference Captioning. People who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing, or those who have a speech challenge actively participate in multi-party teleconference calls or web conferences by reading live captions through a web browser on an internet-connected computer or mobile device.

Q: What if I prefer to speak for myself during a video meeting?
A: If you prefer to speak for yourself during the video meeting, turn on the microphone feature in the video meeting window. You will see the captions on the RCC real-time streaming display and respond directly via the microphone.

Being away from your friends can be challenging. If you’re looking to communicate with friends with our accessible phone services, you can learn more about Relay Colorado at www.relaycolorado.com.

Speech-to-Speech Relay allows anyone with a speech challenge to communicate with a Communications Assistant (CA) who re-voices on their behalf. To make communication even easier, users can setup a profile and store up to 30-speed dial numbers. By storing their most frequently used numbers, STS users simply ask for the caller by name without the hassle of remembering numbers when placing a call.

Sunday, Engine 15 and Lt. James Leber participated in an event at the Denver Zoo called the Safari Deaf Awareness event. This event is an opportunity to bring community members together to collect resources/information on accessible technology and services related to communication access for hearing loss. It was fun to see the surprise on people's faces when they realized that Lt. Leber was able to sign!

It’s important to recognize that not everyone communicates the same way. That includes folks who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing, DeafBlind, and those who have a Speech challenge. Relay Colorado helps bridge the communication gap for those members to place and receive phone calls.
