While NexTalk®’s start as a free-standing company came in 2007 when it was spun off from NXi Communications, its roots in deaf and hard-of-hearing telecommunications go back almost two decades.

NexTalk’s parent company was first established in 1990 as an engineering consulting firm with three engineers, one of whom is deaf (and who remains with NexTalk today). In 1992, the team received a grant from the National Institutes on Deafness and other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) to develop and improve TTY technology. And in 1994, they pioneered the world’s first high speed TTY-compatible modem. Since then, it has been involved continuously in the development and production of advanced technology products for text, voice and video communications.

This spirit of innovation underscores our mission at NexTalk as we lead the way in the creation of deaf and hard-of-hearing telecommunication accessibility solutions.
