Using MacWise or Best Emulation Lite
as a Text Relay Terminal
for the Deaf
Best Emulation Lite is purchased only from the Mac App Store and requires Mac OS X version 10.6.6 or later. Here is the direct link in the app store...

If you are using a Mac with an older operating system prior to OS X 10.6.6, you will need to use MacWise instead at www.MacWise.com
When you open the software you will see various headings at the top so refer to those below and all those mentioned should have a checkmark.
