TTY Automated Attendant
The Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD)
announcement set makes it more convenient to set up teletypewriter
(TTY) automated attendants that provide automated
attendant service to hearing-impaired callers. (The
TDD announcement set is not required to set up TTY automated
attendants, but it is recommended.) See the Automated
Attendant feature for complete information on
automated attendants.
Business Office Telephone Systems
Instead of recording the automated
attendant menu using the
telephone, the system administrator
types the menu using the TTY
keyboard.
The system administrator needs a
stand-alone, acoustically-coupled
TTY and the touch-tone keypad to
set up TTY automated attendant
menus.

Separate telephone numbers are
strongly recommended, but not
required, for TTY automated attendants
and for voice automated
attendants.
The Multilingual feature can be
used to administer an automated
attendant with nested TTY menus
and nested voice menus;
although, TTY users will see nothing
or unreadable characters
resulting from voiced prompts or
greetings, and hearing users will encounter some TTY messaging
noise.
The TTY automated attendant can
be administered to use name
addressing. See the utomated
Attendant feature for more information.
The TTY Automated Attendant feature provides automated attendant service to
TTY users. All that hearing-impaired callers need are a standard stand-alone,
acoustically-coupled TTY along with a touch-tone telephone.
Separate telephone numbers are strongly recommended, but not required, for
TTY automated attendants and for voice automated attendants. (Separate voice
and TTY automated attendant numbers tend to be more user-friendly.)
