It's a internet phone relay system for deaf people. You type in something, and the person says it over the phone.

Read the FAQ on how to use it:

I had fun with this and my roommates (lady on the phone typed everything I said)

BTW, they have plenty of staff, and the hold time is like 20 seconds, so I don't think we're depriving actual deaf people of this service

we used to screw around with that at work... basically what happens is you type what you want to say and someone calls the phone number and reads what you typed off of the screen

it's funnier if you make the person relaying the message laugh while they're trying to speak with what you type
