VCO (Voice Carry-Over)

This feature is for people who can speak clearly, yet have hearing loss significant enough to keep them from understanding what is being said over a standard telephone. Using a specially designed telephone that also has a text screen, the VCO user speaks directly to the person being called. In response, the words of the person being called are typed by the Virginia Relay Communications Assistant (CA), and the VCO user reads those words on the text screen of the VCO phone. No typing by the VCO user is required.

Two-Line VCO This feature allows Virginia Relay VCO users with two telephone lines to use one line for speaking directly to the person they are calling and the other line to receive the text of that person’s conversation.
