Captioned telephone technology continues to evolve, meaning tangible advances in the speed, accuracy, and clarity of captions for people with hearing loss. Learn how CapTel’s latest captioning technology lets users choose how their calls are captioned – between fully automated or operator-enhanced options, the advantages of each captioning method, and how to switch methods during a call. Customizable captioning options are yet another way that CapTel provides users with choices – choices of traditional or touchscreen phones, choices between internet or analog service – to match the unique needs of individuals with hearing loss.
