Hard of Hearing consumers can finally make a call in total privacy without the need for a relay operator, CA (Captioning Assistant) or transcriptionist.
CaptionMate is a free service for individuals with hearing loss. It allows you to read both sides of the phone conversation instantaneously. CaptionMate works on smartphones, tablets, smart TVs and all other phones, even your landline. Registration is free and creates no obligation.
CaptionMate is FCC licensed so the cost of captioning each Internet Protocol Captioned telephone call will be funded through a federal program, and the cost of the calls will be paid for by contributions from other telecommunication users to the TRS fund.
