Relay Hawaii provided by Sprint Relay
Relay Hawaii is a service overseen by the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission that provides full telephone accessibility to people who are deaf, hard-of-hearing, deaf-blind, and speech-disabled. Relay Hawaii provides the equipment and the service free of charge to all qualified residents of Hawai`i. Relay Hawaii allows the people of Hawai`i to communicate with friends, 'ohana, and anyone over the phone using text-telephone (TTY), captioned telephone(CapTel) online and wireless relay services. Take advantage of Relay Conference Captioning (RCC), a free service provided by Relay Hawaii that allows deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals in Hawaii who prefer to use captioning to participate in multi-party conference calls. A remote captioner listens to the call, captions the dialogue, and speaks on behalf of the deaf/hard-of-hearing participants. To learn more about RCC, please read the Hawaii RCC flyer that describes the service in detail. |
