If you have hearing loss, CaptionCall can help you connect with others via telephone. This technology provides written captions of what callers say and is available as a traditional telephone or iPad app.
Because of a mandate under the ADA, CaptionCall is free for people with hearing loss. The service is regulated by the FCC, which reimburses providers from a federally administered fund.
CaptionCall Phone
The CaptionCall phone displays easy-to-read captions on its 7-inch screen. It dials and rings like a regular phone, with the added benefit of a visual ringer feature that causes the screen to flash during incoming calls. Additional features include:
- Touch to call
- Save conversation transcription
- Telecoil loop connection
- Set up with a wired or wireless internet connection
CaptionCall Mobile
CaptionCall Mobile allows you to use your iPad as a phone. With this technology, you will be able to understand every word of every phone call no matter where you are.
To use CaptionCall Mobile, you’ll need a CaptionCall account, an Apple® iPad® 2 or later and a Wi-Fi or cellular Internet connection.
