Announcing a New,
Deaf-Owned VRS Service - BISVRS.tv
Birnbaum Interpreting Services (BIS) is
proud to announce TeleSign Seminars, a community service to provide a
cost-free way for individuals to participate in a wide variety of
educational seminars without leaving their home or office. Deaf and Hard of
Hearing individuals are able to also access TeleSign Seminars through the
use of broadband video technology and BIS' video relay interpreters. Hearing
individuals, especially those in the interpreting field, are also encouraged
to participate as BIS is pleased to announce that we are currently offering
RID CEUs for selected TeleSign Seminars.

Attendees simply dial into a pre-set telephone conference number and access code
that connects a large number of people into a TeleSign Seminar call
simultaneously. Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals can call Video Relay
Service (VRS) through their videophone. They will give the VRS interpreter the
pre-set telephone conference number and access code to connect them to the
Seminar. The interpreter will interpret the entire workshop or training,
including all questions, answers, discussions and other interactive dialogue.
Video Relay Service (VRS) allows individuals to communicate in American Sign
Language (ASL) using video conferencing equipment such as a Video-Phone (D-Link
i2eye, VP-100, VP-200) or WebCam through a sign language interpreter who will
relay the conversation between them and the hearing presenter or lecturer.
Individuals not using sign language through VRS may incur a long distance charge
for the phone call.
Each month the TeleSign Seminars Calendar will list new and up-to-date
presentations and lectures. Leading experts in areas such as business,
marketing, banking investments, mental health, wellness, nutrition, real estate,
interior design, Deaf culture, Video Relay Services, Video Remote Interpreting
and much more will be featured in TeleSign Seminars.
If you have any questions about our educational seminars, or need assistance
adding please contact
