Product Description:

Finally, a full-featured TTY is available for the Macintosh. SoftTTY does everything you want a TTY to do and then some. It works with most Macs without any additional hardware. You can now use the full power of your computer to enhance your TTY experience. You no longer have to suffer with miniature TTY displays, scrunched up keyboards or the massive TTY paper pileup phenomenon (MTPPP). SoftTTY performs all the functions you want in a full-featured TTY, for a very small fraction of the cost.

What's new in this version:

SoftTTY 1.4 adds Mac OS X compatibility! A number of bug fixes were made as well. Fixes a few memory leaks that could cause you to run out of memory during a phone call. SoftTTY 1.3 adds an auto-save feature so that conversations in progress are not lost if your computer crashes. SoftTTY also fixes a bug that occurred in SoftTTY 1.2. The Macro Key window was not closing and prevented SoftTTY from quitting. The Auto-relay timeout was changed from 60 to 120 seconds.

  • Mac OS X 10.1

Sign up for AOL AIM (free) which is an intant message chat tool. Then add: My IP Relay to your buddy list. VIOLA, free TTY service right out of your AOL AIM. OR, you can go to http://www.ip-relay.com/index.htm which is also a free TTY service based on Java using your very own browser.

it down. Nice product, but there is no other comparison on the mac, so ANY tty software would be great to me. Unfortunately, the price of 74.99 seems like a rip off. (the educational price isnt much better). some states provide FREE ttys to the deaf, so having a tty on the computer is not much more than a convenience.

is a telecommunication device for the deaf not the "tty" used in unix. That's why there is no support for peer to peer over internet. it use modem to call other deaf or hard of hearing's tdd/tty device or software. check the website at www.softtty.com to see the screenshot and understand what softtty is for.. There is no other tdd/tty apps for mac os x.
