How Does
CapTel Work?
CapTel
users place a call in the same way as dialing a traditional phone. As they dial, the
CapTel
automatically connects to a
captioning service. When the other party answers, the
CapTel
user hears everything that they say, just like a traditional call.
At the same time, a specially trained operator at the captioning service transcribes everything the other party says into written
text, using the very latest in computerized voice-recognition technology. The text appears on a bright, easy-to-read display
window built into the
CapTel
phone. The captions appear almost simultaneously with the spoken word, allowing
CapTel
users to understand everything that is said – either by hearing it or by reading it.
What Equipment/Services
are Needed?
1. A Captioned Telephone (CapTel)
A special telephone that interacts with the
captioning service to display captions. The
telephone does not translate spoken words
into written captions all by itself. It can also
be used as a traditional amplified telephone.
2. Captioning Service
Captions are provided by the captioning
service throughout the conversation at no
cost to the
CapTel
user.
The CapTel phone is currently available in
states that offer CapTel service as part of
their relay service.
