What is CapTel?

CapTel is a telephone that allows people who have difficulty hearing on the phone to enjoy the telephone without the stress of missing parts of the conversation.

 

The CapTel handset looks and works like a traditional phone with the added benefits of large numbers and a screen. There are two major differences of the CapTel handset.

 

Firstly it amplifies the conversation and most importantly it captions the other party’s words on the screen, ensuring you catch every word.
