Sprint launches Relay ID pack for deaf and hard of hearing communities
The latest Sprint ID pack launched by the carrier, Relay ID, is made to allow anyone who has difficulty hearing and members of the deaf community to more easily use their phone. Available on select Sprint ID-capable Android smartphones, the bundle includes voice mail transcripts, visual and vibrating alerts and readable captions, among others – all available in a single download.
Sprint is all proud to underline they are the first carrier to deliver such a package, the fact that prompted Claude Stout, executive director of Telecommunications for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (TDI), to praise the offering, despite TDI’s non-endorsement policy.
Included in the pack are such apps as:
- Sprint Mobile Video Relay Services – video relay services for sign language users
- Calendar Notifier – for providing visual alerts and repeating reminders of calendar events
- Handcent SMS – visual alerts and notifications of texts
- VideoPlayer – captions on videos downloaded to an SD card
- Gmail Notifier – visual and vibrating alerts and reminders for Gmail
- TuneWiki – which reads the lyrics to songs
- Captionfish.com – captioned movies playing in a customer’s area
- AIM Instant Messenger – access telephone relay services through AIM Buddy “SprintIP”
- Google Voice – transcribe audio messages left on voice mail into text
As for the compatible handsets, the Sprint Relay ID pack works with the LG Optimus S, Sanyo Zio, Samsung Transform, Samsung Epic 4G and Samsung Galaxy Tab. You can download it from here.
