Tive

This app gives me the ability to make VRS ANDDD VRI calls!! It has this champ Mix page and only for deaf people. It’s so amazing! It’s a must to get app!

App is easy to use for anyone and this is an excellent app for all mobile devices to provide top quality ASL interpretation for deaf and hard of hearing users.. I strongly recommend to use this app.

While using Tive VRS, I often got the same interpreters who remembered me from previous calls and they often said “Good to see you again". I reciprocated when they did. Unfortunately I ultimately ported out due to long wait times for interpreters when I was calling someone or someone else was calling me. Plus, on the social feed there’s an awful lot of religious proselytizing. Many DHH people complain about hearing, non-signing scammers utilizing Tive’s social feed. I would answer them by sending a video of me signing, and when they admitted they don’t understand, I reported them. So, integrating a social feed, video relay service and video remote interpreting into a single app is a unique, interesting experiment, but I have needs that simply cannot be fulfilled by Tive. For example, I often have little need to call numbers. My newly chosen VRS company is the only one to offer multi-platform videoconferencing integration. Now that my mental health program has switched away from Zoom, there’s only ONE VRS company who integrates with non-Zoom platforms like Teams that they now use. It sure was a NIGHTMARE porting my number outta Tive, but I finally got it done, and deleted my account.
