CapTel Phones: Hear and Read Every Word

Learn about CapTel phones, explore their benefits, and try the devices hands-on. Designed for anyone who has difficulty hearing over the phone, CapTel phones feature a large, easy-to-read display screen that shows real-time, word-for-word captions of what the caller is saying, along with enhanced amplification for clearer conversations. They work just like traditional phones, but with the added support of being able to both hear and read every conversation for improved confidence and understanding. CapTel is a federally funded program that provides these Captioned Telephones at no cost, and the service is completely free as well.

There is absolutely no charge for the phone or service — the only requirements are that you have difficulty hearing over the phone and a strong internet connection for the best captioning performance.
