Signing onto the computer is heading into a whole new dimension.

Sprint, the long distance provider, also helps people who use sign language make calls by utilizing their video relay service.

Signing callers connect to the sprint video relay service on the internet and communicate with a certified sign language operator. That operator calls a hearing friend and in real-time communicates the messages signed by the deaf or hard of hearing caller.

To utilize the system you need a computer with a high speed internet connection, a web cam and meeting software.
