What is a caption phone?
Sometimes, it’s easy to miss a few words during a phone call. A caption phone helps by displaying what’s said—clearly and in near real-time!
As the other person speaks, captions appear on a built-in screen, making it easier to follow the conversation. If you don’t catch something, you can simply read the captions to stay on track. It’s an easy way to stay connected—without confusion or repetition.

As part of the ADA, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires telephone and internet companies to contribute to the Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS) fund. The FCC manages the TRS fund and helps pay service providers like ClearCaptions. That’s how we can make captioned calls available at no cost to you.
