How CaptionCall works
CaptionCall works a lot like closed-caption television. It displays written captions of what your caller is saying on a large, easy-to-read screen. The CaptionCall phone also has a variety of features to help you hear and understand a call better.
The CaptionCall process
When you make or receive a call using CaptionCall, a live captioning agent is automatically connected to the call. This person uses voice-recognition technology and manual corrections to turn the audio into captions. This combination of technology and human involvement helps CaptionCall deliver the most accurate captions possible. We follow strict privacy regulations and none of your conversation is recorded.

- A volume dial lets you adjust how loud the call is on the handset or speakerphone.
- Phone settings let you customize frequencies based on your individual hearing loss.
- Additional features like voice messages and saved conversations make the CaptionCall phone extra convenient.
