I thought I'd like to start a thread in Deaf Technologies and Products forum, but because this is software, I am thinking it may be better to post it here.
I have a TTY connected to my Motorola VT2142 Phone Adapter and I am a happy Vonage customer. However, one problem I have is with when I use my TTY to type a greeting message in the Voicemail service: I made too many changes over the limit, somehow I typed a letter but somehow made a mistake and because it's realtime, everytime I type a mistake, mistakes will be recorded realtime. Plus, I have to type fast as to help save caller's time on typing a message to me. Because I look veery close to the screen, this makes my back tired. After too many changes over the limit, the Vonage voicemail system said "goodbye" to me; thus I felt like I've irritated the voicemail system and I just let go of it... :p I could get a Large Vision Display but it's expensive, so I'm going with a software route, which I can use a modem (I'll probably have to go buy a modem that's compatible with the TTY, since my laptop's just a data/fax modem) with a TTY software.
The two TTY software programs are:
Since I used NexTalk at Helen Keller National Center in Long Island, NY, I really like it a lot.
I have a question about MyTTY. Does anybody use MyTTY? If yes, how good is MyTTY? As I've read about MyTTY:
Is this true? Will any 56k modem with with MyTTY? Especially my laptop's modem? My laptop is an HP zv6130us and the modem I have is CXT AC97 Data Fax SoftModem with SmartCP (though I don't know what "SmartCP" is).
