How Does CapTel Braille Work?

It’s a breeze!

Placing a call on a CapTel Braille phone is just like using a standard phone.  With the CapTel Braille phone connected to a dynamic braille display reader, each time you use it to make a call or answer a call, you will be automatically connected to a captioning service.

  • 1

    You speak directly to the other party on the CapTel Braille phone.

  • 2

    The other party talks directly to you while the captioner listens.

  • 3

    The captioner transcribes the other party’s voiced message into captions, which are then automatically transmitted in braille on the dynamic braille display reader.

  • 4

    You listen via the CapTel Braille phone and read the captions on the dynamic braille display reader.
