Telex was invented in 1981. Telex is a basic two-way teletypewriter that sends notification and communication from one person to another.
Robert Haig Weitbrecht was born in Orange, California on April 11, 1920. He is the inventor of the modern-day Geiger counter. He also developed the teletypewriter or TTY. He passed away on May 19, 1983.
Changes in journalism in the 20th cent. were fueled by technological advances: the teletypewriter (1904); long-range radio reception (1913); television (1930s-40s); communications satellite (1960s) transmission of data, voice, and video.
TTY is an abbreviation that can be used to mean several things. The most common use for this abbreviation is for the word teletypewriter, talk to you, teletype, thanks to you, and torque to yield.
The machine that transmits printed matter by wire or radio is called a "teletypewriter" or "TTY." It converts text into electrical signals for transmission and then back into printed text at the receiving end. This technology was widely used for telecommunication and news distribution before the advent of modern digital communication methods.
The full form of TTY is "Teletypewriter." It refers to a device that allows for typed communication over a telephone line, enabling individuals, especially those with hearing or speech impairments, to communicate through text. TTY devices have largely been replaced by more modern technologies, but they played a significant role in facilitating accessible communication.
A hearing impaired phone, also known as a TTY (teletypewriter) or TDD (Telecommunications Device for the Deaf), is a specialized phone that allows individuals with hearing loss to communicate via text messages instead of voice calls. These devices are equipped with a keyboard and display screen to facilitate written conversations.
TWX - WarX 83226 refers to a specific type of military communication coding used during World War II. "TWX" indicates a teletypewriter exchange, which was a method for transmitting messages over telecommunication lines. "WarX" denotes the nature of the communication as related to wartime operations, while "83226" serves as a unique identifier or message number within that system. This coding was part of the broader military communication efforts to ensure secure and efficient messaging between command units.
Robert Weitbrecht, a deaf scientist, developed the teletypewriter (TTY) in the 1960s. With the invention of the acoustic coupler (which holds the telephone handset receiver) and the distribution of recycled teletype machines, deaf and hard of hearing people were able to call each other directly using these devices. The invention of the telephone in the late 1800’s was heralded by most people. However, people who are deaf or hard of hearing had difficulty or could not use the telephone at all. For generations, deaf and hard of hearing people had to depend on hearing family members, friends, and neighbors to make telephone calls – to their doctors, children’s schools, and other necessary contacts. Robert Weitbrecht, a deaf scientist, developed the teletypewriter (TTY) in the 1960s. With the invention of the acoustic coupler (which holds the telephone handset receiver) and the distribution of recycled teletype machines, deaf and hard of hearing people were able to call each other directly using these devices. In the late 1970’s and through the 1980’s, much smaller and compact versions of the TTY were manufactured, marketed, and made available through state TTY equipment distribution programs. Calls between TTYs were terrific, but most people had telephones. To provide greater access, TTY relay services began, first as volunteer programs with limited hours and areas, connecting deaf and hard of hearing TTY users with people who used telephones. The TTY relay service communication assistant (CA) connects TTY relay calls with people who communicate by telephone. The CA converts voice-to-text and text-to-voice communication. The text is displayed on the user’s TTY. Because communication using a TTY could flow only in one direction at a time, TTY etiquette was developed. People who communicate using a TTY or TTY relay service, signal conversation turn-taking by saying or typing “go ahead” (GA) and signal the end of a conversation by saying or typing “stop keying” (SK). With TTY relay services, deaf and hard of hearing people could finally call their hearing family members and friends, make their own appointments, order pizza, and make other calls on their own. California became the first state, in 1987, to mandate and establish a state Telecommunications Relay Program. Other states established their own state relay services and a patchwork of relay services emerged across the country. In 1990, Title IV of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) mandated nationwide relay services, to be available 24/7 in every state and territory. More than 100 years after the invention of the telephone, deaf and hard of hearing people could finally make a telephone call to anyone.
