OVERVIEW

OVERVIEW

How Does 

CapTel

Work?

CapTel

works like any other amplified telephone, with one

important difference. It also displays written captions, which
are provided by a captioning service, of everything the other
person says.

Captions are treated with absolute

confidentiality.

Everything the 
person says also
goes through a
Captioning Service,
which transcribes
his words into 
captions using 
the latest in 
voice-recognition
technology.

Talk to the person

you are calling.

Listen to his

responses.

Captions of what
the person says
appear on your

CapTel

display.
