Be Seen with Wavello
Say Hello to Wavello
Designed for hearing friends and family of Deaf people using Sorenson Video Relay, Wavello is an all new VRS experience that allows you to see each other and the interpreter on screen. It’s already built into Sorenson ntouch apps and Lumina, so only the hearing person needs to install the Wavello app to communicate with Deaf loved ones via interpreted video calls.

Wavello is a Video Relay call supported with video. Everyone on the call—the Deaf person, the hearing person, and the interpreter—can see by each other. Just like Video Relay, there is no cost to use Wavello.
Yes, both Deaf and hearing people can use Wavello. Once in a Sorenson Video Relay call, Deaf people use Lumina or an ntouch product to initiate a Wavello call to a hearing person who has downloaded the Wavello app and registered their phone number.
Follow these easy steps:
- Download the Wavello app for your phone from the Apple App or Google Play Store.
- Register your phone number that you will use to communicate with Deaf friends or family members.
- Important: After registering, make sure you click “Allow Notification” from Wavello app.
