Sorenson Video Center App Now Available on App Store
SALT LAKE CITY (March 11, 2010)—Sorenson Communications, the leading
provider of Video Relay Service (VRS) for deaf and hard-of-hearing
individuals who use sign language to communicate, today announced its Video
Center App is now available on the App Store. The Sorenson Video Center App
will empower Sorenson VRS® (SVRS®) users to access their Video Center
content, including SignMail® messages and videos, on their iPhone® or and
iPod touch® anytime, anywhere, without using an ASL interpreter.
The Video Center is a one-of-a-kind, central location accessed through a
Sorenson VP-200® videophone. The Video Center offers deaf individuals access
to SignMail – which is similar to a voice message, but recorded in sign
language – as well as informational and entertainment videos, all in
American Sign Language (ASL). The Video Center App contains a video tutorial
to help users get started, as well as provide answers to questions they
might have about using the app.
“Our app for iPhone and iPod touch is a great addition to the new
technologies we are developing here at Sorenson Communications,” says Mel
Walker, Sorenson Communications senior director of Product Development. “Our
goal is to extend services and deaf communications with unique offerings
that truly benefit the deaf community. With the Video Center App, SignMail
messages and other ASL videos become even more accessible.”
The Video Center App is available at no cost from the App Store on iPhone
and iPod touch or at http://www.itunes.com/appstore/
