VRI / VRS

IVèS designs, develops and hosts turnkey Video Remote Interpretation (VRI) and Video Relay Services (VRS) infrastructure. It is based on Total Conversation where you can use any combination of video, text and speech at the same time in a call.

Your VRS / VRI will fit people with disabilities as well as ordinary citizens : deaf, hearing impaired, deafened and deafblind persons. The software allows any combination of sign language, speech and text communications that suits the participants needs in each call. 

This service allows deaf, hard-of-hearing and speech-impaired individuals to communicate over video telephones (and similar technologies) with hearing people in real-time, via a sign language interpreter. It provides to administrations and privates companies a tool of integration of people having an auditive problem.

A wireless videophone, a landline videophone, a PC equipped with a Webcam allow deaf persons to  make a videocall to an interpreter. The interpreter places the call and interprets as a neutral, non-participating third party: anything that the audio user says is signed to the video user, and anything signed by the video user is spoken to the audio user.
