Captioned Phones

A captioned telephone is a phone that has a built-in screen to display what the person on the other line is saying in text.

Benefits of Captioned Phones

• Never miss a word! Spend more time focusing on the conversation rather than trying to interpret what’s being said.
• Most phones are free (see below for more information on how to get yours).
• They’re perfect for hearing aid users!

Captel

Short for Captioned Telephone, CapTel is a telephone designed for people with hearing loss. It works like other amplified telephones, with an important addition: Every word your caller says is displayed on the CapTel screen to read. Similar to closed captioning for TV.
