In addition, individuals with speech disabilities have the option of using Speech-to-Speech (STS) relay services.

What is Speech-To-Speech (STS)?

STS is a form of relay for people who have difficulty being understood on the phone. The FCC website provides this explanation of the service:


STS is a form of Relay Services that provides Communications Assistants (CAs) for people with speech disabilities who have difficulty being understood on the phone. STS CAs are trained individuals familiar with many different speech patterns and language recognition skills. The CA makes the call and repeats the words exactly. Individuals using STS include those with cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s disease, a laryngectomy, ALS, stuttering, muscular dystrophy, stroke, and other conditions affecting clarity of speech. Call the number in your state and ask the CA to dial the number you wish to call.
