A stroke can change the way a person communicates, but it should never limit their ability to connect with others.

For individuals with speech disabilities caused by a stroke, Relay Texas offers free communication tools that help make phone and virtual conversations more accessible:

📞 Speech-to-Speech (STS) connects callers with specially trained Relay Operators who listen and repeat words exactly as spoken, helping individuals with speech disabilities communicate more effectively by phone.

💬 HCO (Hearing Carry Over) allows people who can hear but have difficulty speaking to listen directly to the other party and type their responses for the Relay Operator to voice.

💻 IP Relay enables users to make and receive phone calls over the internet, providing text-based communication with a Relay Operator.

🎥 Relay Conference Captioning (RCC) provides real-time captions during meetings, webinars, and conference calls, making conversations easier to follow and participate in and user with speech disabilities can use the “message captioner” option to have their typed words voiced on RCC events for them.

This World Stroke Day, let's raise awareness of the communication tools that help stroke survivors stay connected to healthcare providers, employers, family, and friends.

During Healthcare Quality Week, we recognize the importance of delivering safe, effective, and patient-centered healthcare for everyone. One key part of quality healthcare is ensuring that patients can communicate clearly with their healthcare providers.

For individuals who are Deaf, Hard of Hearing, DeafBlind, or have speech differences, communication barriers can make it more difficult to schedule appointments, discuss symptoms, understand treatment plans, or manage ongoing care. Relay Texas's no-cost services help bridge those gaps and support equal access to healthcare information and services.

When communication is accessible, patients can make informed decisions, advocate for their needs, and receive the high-quality care they deserve.
