I didn’t know this was offered over IM, cool stuff
Tags :Announcement
Once again while out reading the wild world
of the web, I came across that AOL IM offers TRS (Telecommunications Relay
Services). TRS is part of the American with Disabilities Act. Basically
there is a name you can add to your buddy list that will get you through
the steps of a relay person sending your chats when required. Sign
language is supported over webcam and audio to text for those that cannot
type. No, not those of you that type bad, those that cannot type
due to physical limitation. The service is open to AOL, IM, iChat
and even the embedded AIM version on mobile devices on a few networks.
I think that qualified as a cool service to talk about.
