Introducing
CapTel (Captioned Telephone),
a revolutionary new technology for the deaf and hard of hearing. Whenever
someone calls you, their words will appear instantly on a bright, easy
to read screen on your CapTel phone. Even if you miss hearing a word,
you can still follow the conversation on the screen so you don’t
miss anything. And when you respond, you can speak freely and not wait
for the captions to display. Because there are no pauses, both parties
can enjoy a more natural conversation.
They talk. YOU READ THEM LOUD & CLEAR.
The CapTel phone
looks and works like any other phone so it is ideal for everyone to
use. For the deaf and hard of hearing however, the CapTel has one legendary
new feature: a small screen is built into the front, which displays
easy-to-read text as it is transcribed by a CapTel Operator. Words appear
almost instantaneously on the screen, thanks to CapTel’s advanced
voice-recognition technology.
When CapTel users
dial a call, they speak normally but are able to read back everything
the other party says, whether they can hear or not.. The combined voice/text
capability of CapTel is made possible by voice recognition software
and the assistance of a trained Operator who is invisible to both parties
during the call.
Don’t let hearing loss interrupt your life.
