14 DAY TRIAL // Hamilton CapTel (owned by Hamilton Telecommunications), a provider of diversified communications and technology services, has announced its Hamilton Mobile CapTel application for the iPhone. Targeting individuals with hearing loss, the application provides captions of telephone calls and allows users to listen while reading captions of everything that is said during phone calls.
The application works much like a TV set when watching a movie with subtitles, Hamilton CapTel suggests. The company is proud to deliver a useful tool that meets the demands of people who are hard of hearing, and lists a number of key features for its Mobile CapTel app.
Those include: the ability to listen to what is said while simultaneously reading captions of what's said on the screen of the iPhone; integration of Contacts (phone numbers are available when it's time to place a call); captions in both English and Spanish; iPhone 3G/3GS support; compatibility with iPhone headset, wired or Bluetooth; the ability to download the app immediately and have access to a profile and contacts stored on the iPhone (limited to registered Web CapTel users).
"This is a major addition to the Hamilton CapTel family of solutions, delivering unprecedented access and freedom for iPhone users that are hard of hearing," Dixie Ziegler, vice president of Hamilton Relay, provider of the Hamilton Mobile CapTel service, said. "At Hamilton, we are dedicated to delivering personalized service and providing the most technologically advanced solutions. Every call is important, and due to the widespread use of the iPhone, we have created a free iPhone App that is easy-to-use with an intuitive interface to meet the needs of iPhone users in the U.S."
"The development of the iPhone App was paramount for our tech-savvy users. CapTel Service has changed people's lives for the better---no more frustration trying to hear the person at the other end of the phone," Ziegler added. "Now, iPhone users can place and receive captioned phone calls from just about anywhere. And best of all, this is a free service, available throughout the United States."
