Abstract
Communication systems and methods are disclosed for enabling a first user at a video endpoint to communicate with a far-end user at a communication device via a relay service providing translation services for the first user. The video endpoint may include a camera and may be configured to frame a view of the camera to include a signing area of a user. The video endpoint may be configured to determine the signing area of the user by taking measurements of the user's body and framing a region around the user to include the signing area based on the measurements, by monitoring a range of motion for the signing area of the user, and other methods.
