Which of the following is a statement of Internet Relay?

• A. It is a free service
• B. There is no need for traditional TTY equipment
• C. It allows individuals with hearing loss to make relay calls over the Internet
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Internet Relay Services let a person who is deaf, hard of hearing, or speech-impaired communicate with others by using the Internet and a relay operator who facilitates the conversation. The operator types what the caller says and speaks to the other party, then types back what the other party says. This service is generally funded through the Telecommunications Relay Service program, so end users typically don’t pay for the call—it's provided as a free service. Because you access it over the Internet via a computer, tablet, or smartphone, there’s no need for traditional TTY equipment. And it enables relay calls with ordinary phone users over the Internet, bridging the gap between TTY-style communication and standard telephone networks. Taken together, these points describe Internet Relay, so all of the above is correct.
