Abstract
A method and system for call restoration in a video relay service are disclosed, including a system that includes a VRS server having a call queue. The VRS server receives at least one call request to establish a communication session between a hearing-impaired user and a hearing-capable user. The VRS server also compares the call request with the plurality of call requests to identify if the call request corresponds to a previous call request corresponding to one in the call queue. The system also includes a VRS client application interactively coupled to the VRS server and configured to monitor availability of interpretive services. When the call request corresponding to the hearing-impaired user and the hearing-capable user is sorted to a top of the call queue and the interpretive services are available, the application establishes the communication session via the interpretive services between the hearing-impaired user and the hearing-capable user.
