RTT means I can type during a phone call to someone and they can speak to me but instead of my voice they will see what I am typing. It would change my life if I could use this. Forcing myself to speak is so hard, sometimes it is awful. RTT would help me so much. But I cannot figure out how to use it.
I tried very hard to learn. I looked for Youtube videos, I contacted every agency I could think to ask but no one knew or could help me. I think it is something simple for someone who knows how to do it.
Can you tell me how I nea learn to do it? I have it set up on my phone, each time I call it is a choise now I can select but when I tried using it with the California Relay Service, they did not know I was talking. I do not understand if RTT on Apple iPhone only works if I am talking to someone who is using an iPhone but if they are on a regular phone, like a landline, they would not see my typed responses.
I am not explaining this well. I mentioned The California Relay Service because they have a service where you can type to them, the operator reads it and speaks it out loud to the person on the line you called to speak with. Normally you need a TTY for Deaf to do it but they are so expensive. I want to know how I can use my iPhone instead, if that is possible.
Can you help?
