Human Factors (HF) - Requirements for relay services
The present document specifies requirements for relay services provided over ICT networks. It is intended to give
information suitable for incorporation into contracts between commissioning agents and relay service providers.
The present document is applicable to all kinds of relay services which enable a user with functional limitations related
to hearing, vision, speech or cognitive functions, or combinations thereof, to converse with other users. The present
document applies to text relay services, speech-to-speech relay services, video relay services, and captioned telephony
services.
Requirements are specified for services provided on a 24/7 basis, as well as for limited-hour services.
The present document does not place requirements on network operators.
Človeški dejavniki (HF) - Zahteve za posredovalne storitve
Ta dokument določa zahteve za posredovalne storitve, zagotovljene prek omrežij IKT. Njegov namen je podati informacije, primerne za vključitev v pogodbe med komisionarji in ponudniki posredovalnih storitev.
Ta dokument velja za vse vrste posredovalnih storitev, ki omogočajo uporabniku s funkcionalnimi omejitvami v povezavi s sluhom, vidom, govorom ali kognitivnimi funkcijami oz. njihovimi kombinacijami, da se lahko pogovarja z drugimi uporabniki. Ta dokument velja za naslednje posredovalne storitve: besedilo, govor-govor, video in podnaslovljene telefonske storitve.
