What is Tty?

and TTY is a phone that is specially equipped for users who are deaf or deaf. The term means "Teletpewriter" and is sometimes used to describe teleletpes in general. TTY systems allow people who are deaf and deaf to call each other, and by transmission systems, users can also communicate with people who don't have these systems. Systems include a telephone handset that is connected to the keyboard; Each key creates a specific tone that can be read using a headphone. The handset communicates these tones with the receiver at the other end of the line and the receiver interprets the tones and generates a line of text. If the recipient does not have a TTY receiver, pick up the tones and hear a number of tones. In a situation where someone with a system has to call someone without one or vice versa, a telephone relay service is used. A relay service can read written messages to callers who hear and turn spoken messages into a text for a deaf caller.

Because most people can potentially speak much faster than they can write, TTY systems can be very clumsy. Frequent users usually develop a set of abbreviations, such as "GA" for "go" to indicate that someone is done by writing or "SK" for "Stop Keying", suggesting that someone plans to end the conversation. People also shortly shorten the words rather than write them to make conversations faster, and tend to use TTY Systems for fast communication rather than uncomfortable chatting.

The main problem with TTY systems is that users must be able to write rapids and accurately. Some deaf and deaf users are also used to using a sign language that has a different grammatical system than the written English language. This can cause some confusion when using the TTY system. Systems also rely on things such as flashing lights or vibrations to alert deaf and deaf users to incoming calls, and you can miss the call ifSomeone leaves the phone only a few times, which can be very frustrating.
