SALT LAKE CITY, UT--(Marketwire - Jun 15, 2011) - Sorenson Communications®, the leading provider of Video Relay Service (VRS) for deaf and hard-of-hearing people who use sign language to communicate, today announced it has added support for the Nexus S™ with a data plan from T-Mobile®, to its mobile VRS application, ntouch™ Mobile.
The ntouch Mobile app provides mobile deaf-communication access for VRS or point-to-point calling, using certain Android mobile devices that contain a forward-facing camera. Now, people who communicate using sign language can use VRS outside of the traditional venues of home and office. The ntouch Mobile app empowers them to communicate anytime, anywhere.
Sorenson has also added several enhanced features that make ntouch Mobile more convenient for users, including:
- Call length shown in Call History
- Missed Call notification recorded when the mobile device is off-line or turned off
- On-screen display of the number of rings
- On-screen display of the SVRS Video Interpreter's ID number
- Improved call-connection performance
"Sorenson continues to provide new and innovative communication options for our customers as part of our product suite," says Ricky Simmons, Sorenson Product Manager. "Sorenson employees constantly focus on developing the most functionally-equivalent communication tools for our deaf and hard-of-hearing customers. These additional services are just the beginning."
