Under development for close to a year, ZVRS is rolling out a new app for the iPhone, iPod Touch and the iPad!

What is it called? Z OneStop!

What does it do? It is a one-stop app for almost everything you need! News, highlights, a directory of deaf and hard of hearing organizations such as associations and schools.

How do you get it? Download from the iTunes Store, using the following link.

Do not have an iPhone or iPad, you can browse the same information at onestop.drzvrs.com!

If you have the Z4 Mobile App, run it together with the Z OneStop. Phone numbers in Z OneStop automatically dial using the Z4 Mobile app!

Enjoy!!

Who has the best interpreters in the VRS industry? Dr. Z says its ZVRS! How did he come to that conclusion?

In the last few months, Dr. Z tried different providers to personally assess the quality of their interpreters.

While Dr. Z is affiliated with ZVRS, he was doing this as a deaf consumer, because the quality of interpreters in a VRS setting is important to facilitate calls.

Dr. Z has come to the conclusion–ZVRS interpreters are far better! Try using us if you haven’t. If you have a VP-200, or nTouch, try calling us at 888-888-1116 and you will be floored!

Our interpreters are 100% certified, not like some of the providers in the VRS industry.

After months of effort, the people at ZVRS have come out with a brand-new website.

The website was designed with you in mind. With over 25 products, features and services, the old website was beginning to outgrow its usefulness. The new website allows you to access all our products, services and features with just one click!

Also, with each feature, we have put in instructions to make it easier for you to use our wonderful features. We will continue to enhance the website with more instructional videos for each product, feature and service.

Also, the website is enabled for your mobile device! It is as beautiful on your iPhone or iPad as it is on your desktop or laptop. We did a major effort so that any change we make, it needs to be done only once and it is reflected on your web version or your mobile version.

Enjoy www.zvrs.com!

The engineers at ZVRS are at it again! Out of their lab they have cooked up 2 cool features for ZVRS users out there.

Now you will know who is calling you–on your Z-Phone you will see the name/phone number of the calling party. It is not ready for the Z4 yet but will soon. It works for the Z-20, Z-340 and Z-Ojo. How’s that for functional equivalency. This has been the most commonly requested feature from our users out there. It works for calls coming in from the VP-200!

On the Z-20, you now can see the entire phone directory, instead of being limited to 8 lines–you can scroll down or enter the string to jump to the person you want to dial.

Happy New Year!

2012 is shaping to be one of the most important years in VRS!

Technology is making all the devices and software more accessible and more full-featured.

VRS is leveling the playing field in communications for deaf and hard of hearing people everywhere.

But…there are ominous developments that could slow down or even degrade some of who we have experienced such as the current NPRM being on the table by the FCC.

We must be sure that progress continues forward..not taking one step forward and two steps backwards.

All this can be done if we all work together…both consumers and the industry.

The bottom line…it is for the consumers who use the service!

Happy Holidays! This is the 11th “gift” from ZVRS–all the goodies we have to offer during the holiday season and beyond.

The “gift” is “Z Box”–it is a simple box but a powerful one at that. Just plug in the phone transmitter you use to alert you of incoming phone calls into the Z Box. When a phone call comes in to your ¸-Phone or 1Number, all the receivers in the house that are tied to the transmitter will flash! It will flash even for your iPhone if a call comes in to your iPhone. It will flash for your Z-150, Z-340, Z-Ojo and Z-20 as well as your Android or iPad2! One other thing–if your VP-200 is tied to your 1Number, the Z Box will flash for you too!

Another bonus from the Z!

Happy Lighting!
