 About Life Links
We offer our VRS users a free, easy, and convenient way to call friends or family, make a doctor's appointment, call a utility, or even order a pizza! Our friendly video interpreters will respond within seconds to assist you in placing your call.
Based in New York City, LifeLinks VRS (video relay service) was founded in 2002, with the goal of providing the most efficient and accessible video relay service available to the Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing community. Our video relay service employs state-of-the-art software that allows our interpreters, who also sign in Spanish, to be seen on the screen in real time with amazing clarity. In addition, our revolutionary technology offers our Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing users teleconferencing capabilities with up to four participants.
LifeLinks VRS operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, over high-speed broadband, which effectively turns a computer screen into a videophone. LifeLinks VRS is accessible from any location with Internet access, even wireless access, thus offering unsurpassed mobility to the Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing community.
Most important, LifeLinks VRS does not charge for its service.
