Cap Tel PhoneAllows people who have difficulty understanding what is
said over the telephone to receive word-for-word captions throughout their telephone conversations. This new
technology enables people who are deaf or hard of hearing to enjoy the telephone with the same ease, speed and confidence as telephone callers everywhere. If a CapTel
user has difficulty hearing what the caller says, he or she can simply read the captions for clarification.
