  1. TTY

    TTY stands for teletypewriter, a communication device used by individuals with hearing or speech impairments to type and transmit text messages over telephone lines. It enables people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech-disabled to communicate with others who use standard telephones. TTYs often consist of a keyboard, display screen, and modem that convert typed messages into audio signals for the recipient and decode incoming audio signals into text for the user.

The New Hacker's Dictionary

  1. tty

    The latter pronunciation was primarily ITS, but some Unix people say it this way as well; this pronunciation is not considered to have sexual undertones. 1. A terminal of the teletype variety, characterized by a noisy mechanical printer, a very limited character set, and poor print quality. Usage: antiquated (like the TTYs themselves). See also bit-paired keyboard. 2. [especially Unix] Any terminal at all; sometimes used to refer to the particular terminal controlling a given job. 3. [Unix] Any serial port, whether or not the device connected to it is a terminal; so called because under Unix such devices have names of the form tty*. Ambiguity between senses 2 and 3 is common but seldom bothersome.
