Sometimes my captions take a while to appear. Why is that?

September 26, 2018

ClearCaptions has made numerous recent updates to ensure speed and reliability with our captioning service. Captioned calls are typically connected within 3 seconds of the start of a call.

 

Once your call is connected, automated speech recognition software, or in some cases, a captioner is assigned to your conversation. Occasionally at the beginning of the call, it takes a moment for the captions to appear on your screen. This is normal.

If you have questions about ClearCaptions service, for home and mobile call use, contact us online or call 1-866-246-7850.
