How do you feel about the ZVRS acquisition of Purple? https://www.zvrs.com/acquisition https://www.zvrs.com/acquisition/info-for-zvrs-customers/ https://www.zvrs.com/acquisition/info-for-purple-customers/ https://www.zvrs.com https://www.purplevrs.com ZVRS_Acquires_Purple by VRSEngineer...

Thanks Jane, I was too quick to answer. After re-reading the question, perhaps Captioned Telephony Service is what Lilach is looking for? I've not researched any Caption Telephony Services outside of TRS CTS. Sorry for the confusion. Mea culpa.

It sounds like you are looking for "Video Relay Interpreting" (VRI). Think of it like VRS, only you pay for it instead of the TRS fund. ZVRI Stratus Video Interpreting Service Purple VRI This is by no means an exhaustive list. There are numerous others. Most of the VRS providers...

The primary concern is for people living here in the US that are not full citizens yet. Without a SSN, they cannot register for VRS? The TRS fund isn't a tax directly on US citizens. It is a FCC mandated contribution that carriers must pay into based on the size of their customer base...

Z5 Hearing VRS is most definitely not compensated, and should be blocked from a hearing videophone. As a hearing customer, your tollfree 888 number isn't in the iTRS database, so it cannot be compensated for VRS calls. The only tollfree 888 numbers allowed in the iTRS database are CNAME...

As of December 17th, 2014, the VP200 can now receive videomail calls from non-Sorenson videophones: http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/view?id=60001014660

I'll chime in and support the folks that suggest the person calling has a phone number that isn't in iTRS. When a "server routed" VP calls another VP, it first goes through the calling VP's VRS provider's call routing platform. All providers do things differently, but the usual process is to...

My understanding is that the Z5 desktop client supports 3-way video calls as you are requesting. Alternatively, if you're fond of another VRS provider's videophone client, what you are probably looking for is a Multi-Conference Unit (MCU) room where multiple video calls are turned into a single...

The "problem" here is direct point-to-point calling vs "server based routing". Older endpoints like the VP200 had your home IP address entered into the iTRS database. Your router allowed an inbound port connection for H.323 call setup, which let someone call the VP200 from the Internet...

As someone with Google Glass, I can tell you that it does indeed hold much potential, but is hampered by the current hardware limitations and software deficiencies. The battery life is far too short. Even with it just running "standby" (mostly asleep, occasional pictures), after a few hours it...

Unfortunately, even between VRS provided videophones there are incompatibilities with regard to point-to-point interoperability. Here is an ex-parte filed yb Gallaudet about their findings that was filed today: http://apps.fcc.gov/ecfs/document/view?id=7521064139 In the document, it...

It could be a number of things. When you placed the call, your jabber client sent a SIP "INVITE" to Cisco's gateway. That would have been converted into an H.323 SETUP message that made it through to your friend's videophone. This made your friend's videophone ring. When your friend...

For the OP (original poster), take a look at this AllDeaf thread: http://www.alldeaf.com/deaf-products-technologies/84435-best-way-hearing-person-use-pc-webcam-call-deaf-hoh-vrs-number.html That is the best way, currently, for someone who is hearing to make a point-to-point video call to a...

Cisco "Jabber" Quick summary: You are using the "Free" Cisco Jabber "beta" downloaded from ciscojabbervideo.com. The account you're using on Cisco's jabber.com gateway, is allowing you to place H.323 URI calls to VRS phones through the @zvrs.com gateway. "Jabber" was the original name of...

I went ahead and reproduced the problem, and a solution: don't use the "h323:" prefix. Just dial "{10 digit number}@zvrs.com". The reason is that H.323 is auto-identified by the presence of the _h323cs._tcp.zvrs.com DNS SRV record, and the h323: prefix actually causes the Cisco Jabber Video...

Wise or not, going silent doesn't mean I'm not going to respond. Sounds like your terp friends have the questionable ethics. That is unfortunate. To my knowledge, my terp friends are beyond reproach from the questionable ethics you infer. Life is too short to surround yourself with...

Your guess is as good as mine. I've not seen a SmartVP in person yet, nor have I seen mention of the specs. It sure does look like an OEM'ed Tely now that you mention it though.

And you're right to question my claims, as they are second hand, particularly if you have counter-claims to the contrary. On the other hand, yours is the first I've heard of interpreters being hired back after having left Sorenson to work for another VRS provider. As such, I'm wary of...

I am not an interpreter. I cannot provide direct testimony myself. I am merely relating the _many_ tales I've been told by interpreting coworkers who were themselves told when they left that they cannot return to work for Sorenson. You can take my word for it, or not. Check my previous...
