ASCII is available for computer users. ASCII Split Screen is designed to allow High Speed ASCII computer users and relay operators to type and communicate more clearly and quickly. Typed text by the caller and the operator will appear on split windows on the computer screen. ASCII users can interrupt the operator if needed, or the operator can interrupt the ASCII user if requested to do so by the voice party.
For more information on ASCII, users may also dial 888-735-5907 if unable reach 7-1-1 directly.
