A Large Visual Display for TTY, also known as an enlarged text display or TTY screen magnifier, is an assistive device designed to make text communication easier for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. This accommodation enlarges the text from a traditional TTY (teletypewriter) device onto a bigger screen, improving readability and reducing eye strain. It supports clear, real-time communication by displaying incoming and outgoing messages in larger, high-contrast fonts. This tool is especially helpful for users with low vision who rely on TTY for telephone communication, making conversations more accessible and comfortable in various settings.
Set up the large visual display by connecting it directly to your TTY device or computer. Adjust the font size and contrast settings to match your comfort level. Position the screen at eye level to reduce neck strain and improve visibility. Regularly clean the screen and check connections to maintain clear text display. When using the device, speak clearly and confirm messages for accurate communication. Store the equipment safely when not in use to protect it from damage.
