The Hamilton Mobile CapTel application for the iPhone from Hamilton CapTel, Aurora, Neb, provides captions of telephone calls for individuals with hearing loss while they are on the go.

Available nationwide, the application, which features an intuitive interface, allows users to listen while reading captions of everything that is said during phone calls.

“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,” said Dixie Ziegler, VP of Hamilton Relay, provider of Hamilton Mobile CapTel service. “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.”

Similar to captions on television, it delivers captions for telephone conversations. The popularity of the iPhone in particular has spurred creation of an iPhone App that is free, easy, and highly functional.

Features include:

• Integration of contacts; phone numbers are available when it’s time to place a call

• Free captions in English and Spanish

• Available on any 3G/3GS iPhone

• Works with an iPhone compatible headset–wired or Bluetooth

• Registered Web CapTel users can download the app immediately and have access to their profile and contacts stored on the iPhone, captioning can begin within seconds

Hamilton Mobile CapTel is a service that can be used on a single, mobile telephone that is capable of supporting both voice and data simultaneously through a 3G or Wi-Fi connection. While initially only available for the iPhone 3G/3GS, due to resounding demand, Hamilton Mobile CapTel has plans to provide this service on a variety of devices.
