Overview

ntouch VP2’s Voice Carry Over (VCO) calling feature gives you the option to make either 1-Line or 2-Line VCO calls. ntouch VP2 has two built-in microphones to provide improved audio quality for your 1-Line VCO calls.

Note: 

  • Customers can give interpreter their mobile number and ask for 2-Line VCO before calling hearing person.  
  • 1-Line VCO is not supported in Public mode at this time, it will be added in firmware 1.7 (Fall 2020).   Escalate to seniors or management if a customer must have VCO in public mode (or Daniel). 
  • Customer will not hear ringing sounds in an outbound VCO call on both 1 and 2-Line VCO.  Email vrscomments@sorenson.com if customer desires that feature (with name, device and phone number).
