Ideal for people with some degree of hearing loss, the Captioned Telephone, or CapTel, works like any other telephone with one important addition: It displays every word the caller says throughout the conversation. CapTel phone users can listen to the caller, and can also read the written captions in the CapTel’s bright display window.

CapTel is easy to use. It works the same way you’d use any other telephone. If you can’t hear what someone says, simply read the captions.

CapTel works with a free Captioning Service to transcribe everything the other person says into written words. There are no monthly fees, no service agreements. Your monthly phone bill doesn’t change.

Set up can be as easy as connecting a phone line and plugging it in! Or CapTel can work with your high-speed internet service.
