1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: receiving an incoming telephony call from a telecommunications device deaf (TDD) protocol-based device placed to a voice telephone number associated with a server computing system; analyzing at least one of data signals and data packets of the incoming call and detecting that the incoming call comes from a TDD protocol-based device; invoking an automated telephony services application in response to the incoming telephony call; associating a TDD interface with the incoming telephony call at the server computing system, wherein the TDD interface receives TDD terms from the TDD protocol-based device, translates at least one TDD term not in conformance to grammars associated with the automated telephony services application, and forms a TDD recognition result that is understood by the automated telephony services application; and outputting information from the automated telephony services application to the TDD protocol-based device via the TDD interface as TDD protocol-based data.
