A person who is deaf or hard of hearing can use a TTY to type their message, which is read aloud to the other caller by a relay operator. The operator types the spoken message of the hearing caller to the TTY user. The average typing speed is 15 words per minute.​ English-to-Spanish and Spanish-to-English translations are also available for TTY Relay customers.
