Hamilton CapTel Brings Closed Captioning to Mobile Phone Conversations

Hamilton CapTel is now available for Android devices–it was previously available for iPhone and BlackBerry users–that allows users who may be deaf or hard of hearing to see their telephone conversation transcribed to them. “The introduction of the browser solution for Android demonstrates the path we are forging with our Mobile CapTel solutions,” said Dixie Ziegler, vice president of Hamilton CapTel. “Our mobile applications have proven popular and we plan to release an application for Android in early 2011 to complement the browser solution announced today.” The service is free, and you’ll be able to hear conversation that you’re having via your mobile phone as well as see what’s being spoken on your phone’s display. For phones that don’t have simultaneous voice and data, you’ll probably also want to be connected via a WiFi network at the same time as well.
