NexTalk Inc., A pioneering developer of communication software for the deaf and hard of hearing, announced today the launch of a new communication software program called ACCESS. The ACCESS Education Edition is designed to enable communication between the deaf and hard of hearing family members/guardians of their students.
Specifically, The NexTalk ACCESS Education Edition is a communication software program that can be installed on any windows-based desktop computer, laptop computer or tablet. The software includes 9 options for connecting with and communicating with the family members or guardians of their students. The options include relay services like Video Relay and Text Relay, as well as video phone, Video Remote Interpreting, Voice Carry Over, Hearing Carry over and TTY/TDD.
"The ability to communicate with a student's family is vital. Educators and administrators alike will tell you how important the family support structure is to a student's ability to prosper and succeed in their education efforts", says Gary Tanner, CEO of NexTalk, "ACCESS Education serves as an on-demand, secure and reliable communication tool that the school can use when they need to connect to and communicate with a deaf or hard of hearing family member/guardian of their student, both remotely and on-site, and eliminates the concerns about having someone who can interpret".
The ACCESS Network
NexTalk created the ACCESS network as a communication network specifically for the deaf and hard of hearing. The ACCESS software programs (ACCESS Home, ACCESS Business and ACCESS Education), all connect and communicate with each other via the network. All calls placed between ACCESS users, be they video or text, are network based calls, so they are not routed through the telephone company or other companies who may capture or "mine" information from the calls. The ACCESS network is not just for the Deaf and Hard of hearing, it's also for anyone who wants to communicate with the deaf and hard of hearing; friends, family, co-workers, church members, schools, daycare centers, dentist's offices, insurance agents, businesses, etc.
