2. CapTel Phone

Categories: Hearing

Amplified phone not loud enough? The CapTel Phone, or Captioned Telephone, captions the words of the people you call. You can hear and speak while viewing captions. The CapTel Phone works like any other telephone with one important addition: It displays every word the caller says throughout the conversation. CapTel users can listen to the caller, and can also read the written captions in the CapTel's bright display window.
