TTY /TDD Explanation: Outra reclamação do professor é que a Central Intermediação Surdo-Ouvinte (Ciso) sempre está ocupada e os surdos ficam esperando prolongadamente a intermediação da comunicação com pessoas ouvintes, além do número incontável de telefones sem funcionamento. A TTY is one of the most commonly used accommodations by people who are unable to understand speech on the telephone. TTY is an acronym for Tele Typewriter– a device that uses text instead of voice to communicate via telephone lines. Sometimes the acronym TDD (Telecommunications Device for the Deaf) is also used for the same device. This term is used less frequently since we prefer to describe the device, rather than those who use it (some people who use a TTY are not deaf). |
