Hey, I have two! Recently I called a shop. Arranged for the work order, then drove down there. When I walked in the shop, and trying to tell the guy about my parts needs to be work on. He immediately gave me the note which he already wrote while waiting for me to arrive his shop. He said, Man! this video relay service is damn better than typing relay service, and LOVE IT! I just smiled back at him, and said yea.

Those who not interested, I highly encourage you to give a try, what you got to lose? Its completely free, and if you don't like it, just send it back. What you got to lose? 2 years ago, I was NOT that interested and literally refused to apply for one cause I thought I type very fast, and should be sufficient. But after my friend told me to get one, nothing to lose? So for his sake, I go ahead. The first minute I use the VRS, its OVER! I love it! I now don't want go back to TTY relay service at all, but will IF really NEED TO or HAVE TO.

I agree! I noticed that Video Relay Service (VRS) is much better than type to relay service, hard for deaf people what to say or how to descibe (sp?) with words but use VRS MUCH easier!

diehardbiker · 09-01-2005, 02:00 PM

yes, but I mean hearing people seems to PREFER VRS much more than TRS!!!
Yes your right, much easier and less misunderstand with VRS than TRS. I was surprised that I don't have to repeat too often like TRS does. urgh!

I think you misunderstood. Read carefully the question of Poll.

I do have Dlink VP. See pix below...

lovesorenson · 09-01-2005, 03:03 PM

VP-100 is much more advanced than I2EYES. Missed calls, Ready-to-dial VRS, Redial features. Of course, lot more people have VP-100 than others combined.

I do have VRS services via I2EYES VP:
1. CSD
2. Sprint
3. On Hands
4. Federal VRS
5. IP (MCI)
6. Hamilton
7. ATT
8. ........

How many does VRS service offer for VP-100?
1. just one: Sorenson.

Yeah, Sorenson VP have caller id, redial, speed dial., vrs, etc. It is neat to see the name & ph nbr appear on it if missed when they call us.

sequoias · 09-01-2005, 03:13 PM

Yes, I have Sorenson VP here.

TweetyBird · 09-01-2005, 05:03 PM

yup i have D LINK too..

Steve · 09-01-2005, 10:27 PM

D-Link from C-S-D.

Our VP-100 stays in its box until we have access to services of our choice.

Lantana · 09-01-2005, 11:00 PM

So, what's the question?

For many of us who have good English, we were happy with regular Relay Service. However ALOT of our friends do not have passable English, we have to think of them.

I have a Sorenson but have never used the Relay part of it. ASL was not my first language, English was. That is the difference.

Whatever you are comfortable with -- it is amazing that we actually have a choice!

(nosy) Thanks for the comparation of your poll...

take a look at my Poll so you will understand better...

BTW, I drink iced tea (no sweet)...

***LinuxGold*** · 09-02-2005, 06:12 AM

Yes!!! I Love Vrs!!! It Rawks!!!

JeepGirl · 09-02-2005, 06:49 AM

I have vp-100 and Dlink.. I like VP-100 better.. like most said, have missed call, auto dial for vrs etc..

dkf747 · 09-02-2005, 08:28 AM

I have both but use the VP-100 because most people I cqall have thhhat one. When I use VRS, sometimes I use Sorenson and sometimes HOVRS thru the VP-100. Yes, it is possible.

IcedTeaRulz · 09-02-2005, 09:12 AM

It is very interesting about their posts. Thanks for vote.

It is new experience for me with Sorenson VP. Hope that u share here with ur experience, too!

diehardbiker · 09-02-2005, 09:53 AM

What you mean misunderstood? I already said to THOSE WHO DON'T DESIRE TO HAVE ONE AND DON'T HAVE ONE YET, that is WHO I am talking about, if you have one, then your NOT the one I am talking to.

diehardbiker · 09-02-2005, 09:55 AM

Sure, but why not have BOTH? Once you have BOTH, then you have BOTH benefits I2eye can use ANY VRS, but no fancy programming stuff, while having Sorenson VP you get fancy programming, but limited to only SVRS... So, whats the deal?
Having both is like killing two birds with one stone.

diehardbiker · 09-02-2005, 09:58 AM

Sure you might be comfortable with english and typing, but problem is the person you might call MAY not be comfortable with slow conversation! That is THE PROBLEM. No matter how fast you can type, the system has the limitation and you can't beat the limitation.

I have NEVER met hearing people who have experienced both VRS and TRS said that TRS is better than VRS! ALL of them told me, PLEASE PLEASE use VRS NOT TRS!!! So, the point is, if you want the hearing person to be friendly, just give them break.

Okay, will you PLEASE ask anyone who ALREADY have, *AND* used VP and HATE them and prefer TTY over VP. Please let me know then we can talk! The reason I ask is because I have NOT met a person who used VP and HATES IT, and rather use TTY!!!

IcedTeaRulz · 09-02-2005, 12:01 PM

Sorenson do have VP directory lists on internet, cool!

diehardbiker · 09-02-2005, 01:27 PM

Yes, it started by somebody and Sorenson decided to buy the rights for this directory.

I like VRS far better than TRS. :-) BTW, my hearing friend who knows Sign Language and she used to work for TRS once. She left her job because Hearies who responses TRS were rude and also she had hard time find a time to completed the conversations. Also I have met a hearing lady who worked for TRS, too. Interesting.

I heard that there is VRO that Hearies can call Deafies on VRS.
