[NJTechDiv] an unusual question.

[Joseph Hudson]

I've never messed with the RTT on an iPhone, but I have messed with it on android. And it works as you have described. When you call her, you can enable RTT once she answers. If you use an android device. I've never looked at it using an iPhone.

Hi list ken with a question.  I have a deaf friend in Connecticut I use the NJ relay to talk to her.  I wrote an article for the braille monitor but I don't think it was ever published.  I have long ago discarded the braille draft.  this was way back in 2016.  since that time of course I have an Iphone.  my question is if I enable the RTT/TTY function on the phone in accessibility, and if I used the NLS braille reader as a keyboard and the display in braille can I call her directly will the reader or perhaps voice-over read back what susan types and will I be able to send that way. Also to read what she types would I need to turn on auto scroll?  can this be done or do I need to have a TTY device connected to the phone.  I do see Software TTY and hardware TTY in the settings.  I know verizon said for a regular flip phone you need a special adapter and the TTY machine but I wonder with the iphone if a keyboard plus display connected by bluetooth and that software/hardware setting in the Iphone i might be possible to connect with susan directly.  I wish that article i wrote had been published.  I know garry wunder did see it and apparently jane saw it.  susan was and is a very special memory to me from my years at the oakhill school for the blind in Hartford.  anyone have thoughts on this?
