1. A system for providing automated translation services during a communication session, the system comprising:
a video relay system configured to connect to a first device over a first connection and to connect to a second device over a second connection to facilitate a communication session between the first device and the second device;
at least one processor in operable communication with the video relay system, the at least one processor configured to:
obtain an audio stream from one or more of the first device and the second device during the communication session;
analyze the audio stream;
automatically translate audio content from the audio stream into sign language content during the communication session without assistance from a human sign language interpreter; and
transmit the sign language content to one or more of the first device and the second device during the communication session.
