Abstract
A video relay system for allowing impaired individuals to communicate across a network includes a first device capable of sending and receiving audio and video signals where the first device is coupled to a network and includes an application. The application on the first device is configured to communicate with a second device, regardless of whether the second device includes the application. The application is also configured to transmit to and receive from the second device a sign language video signal. When the first device is in a voice carryover mode, the application is configured to transmit an audio signal to the second device. When the first device is in a hearing carryover mode, the application is configured to receive an audio signal from the second device.
