Rickroll on a TDD (telecommunications device for the deaf)
2008 April 13
This Rickroll on a TDD was done at the Notacon 5 conference this year. [via]
The telephone call was put through via a telecommunications relay service (TRS) and then read by an operator over the phone. A TRS enables people who cannot speak to use the telephone by typing their messages into a QWERTY device and then having the messages read out loud to the receiver on the other end. Listen to the straight-forward way that the operator says each line of the song “Never Gonna Let You Down”.
