What is a full time IP relay operator?

Full Time IP Relay Operators are professionals who facilitate communication between individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have speech disabilities and standard telephone users. They do this by typing the spoken words of the caller and relaying responses through an Internet Protocol (IP)-based system. These operators work full-time shifts, ensuring that conversations are accurately and confidentially transmitted between parties. Their role is crucial in providing accessible telecommunications services, adhering to strict privacy and professionalism standards.
