A Faster, More Personal Alternative to Relay Services

Applied Direct Connect™ (ADC) is Applied Development’s FCC-approved Direct Video Communication (DVC) service that delivers direct, bilingual (sign language and English) support for Deaf and Hard of Hearing callers.

Unlike outdated relay services, ADC connects customers directly to a live, bilingual agent for faster, clearer, and more personal conversations. No third-party relay operator. No delays. No red tape.

ADC calls are 81% faster than traditional Video Relay Service (VRS).
