The Battalic
Phone operator service to aid
deaf, speech-impaired callers
Discriminatf
(Continued from page 1)
AUSTIN (AP) — A Kansas-based affiliate of U.S.
Sprint is expected next month to begin hiring as many
as 100 people in Austin to run the state’s first telephone
operator service for the deaf and speech-impaired.
Sprint Services, an Overland Park, Kan., firm that
provides telephone operator services to U.S. Sprint and
other long-distance carriers, was awarded the contract
by the Texas Public Utility Commission in March.
Under the contract, valued by the PUC at $5.3 mil
lion for the first year, Sprint will set up and operate the
first statewide service to relay telephone messages to
and from people with hearing or speech disabilities.
Currently, telephone communications in Texas for
people who cannot hear or speak are limited to a device
for the deaf, called a TDD.
The device, which resembles a scaled-down type
writer, enables the user to type messages based on sign
language to other people with TDDs. The typed infor
mation is sent out over telephone lines and displayed on
the receiver’s machine.
The system only works between people who have
TDDs, rendering most of the state’s telephones off lim
its to deaf and hearing-impaired people.
:r, caller
dial a toll-free number and reach an operator trained in
the use of TDDs and American Sign Language, accord
ing to the Austin American-Statesman.
The operator will dial the number sought by the deaf
user and verbally relay the typed messages.
Similarly, hearing and speaking callers who wish to
reach a TDD user will go through the center, where an
operator will translate the message into type and send it
to a receiving machine.
The cost of the service will be the same as a tradi
tional phone call, the newspaper said.
Pat Myers, a Sprint account representative, said the
Texas center, one of about a dozen in the United States,
will open Sept. 1.
Based on a Texas deaf population of about 640,000,
officials say the center will be equipped to handle
175,000 calls a month.
Myers said the company plans to hire 100 people, but
that number may grow, depending on the number and
duration of calls.
By using the Sprint-run center, callers will be able to
ope
vided by local and long-distance telephone companies,
which may pass the cost of the surcharge to customers.
