You spoke, we listened – changes to NRS Chat and NRS Captions

From Tuesday, 20 October, the National Relay Service (NRS) operator, Concentrix, is making changes to improve the look of NRS Chat and NRS Captions

From Tuesday, 20 October, the National Relay Service (NRS) operator, Concentrix, is making changes to improve the look of NRS Chat and NRS Captions.

The changes are based on your feedback, including:

  • The text on the chat screen for NRS Chat and the captions for NRS Captions is too small and doesn’t stand out against the background clearly enough, making it hard to read.
  • The picture of the Relay Officer (RO) which appears with the chat is not needed.

Clearer and larger font will now be used with improved contrasting colours. The picture of the operator will no longer appear, but the RO will tell you their name.

Here’s a sneak peek of the new chat window:
