What is Telecommunications Relay Service?

Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) is an operator service that allows persons with a hearing or speech disability to place calls to standard telephone users via a text telephone (TTY) device, personal computer or other assistive telephone device. There are several different forms of TRS services, in addition to traditional TRS, such as Internet Protocol (IP) and Video Relay service.
