Free Captioning Resources

  • PhoneCaption: provides text captions of your caller’s voice, so that you can read what he or she is saying. This way, everything the caller is saying to you over the phone will appear on your computer screen, or Cisco IP Phone, word for word. There is absolutely no charge for using this service, and upon signing up, you receive a dedicated toll free number that you may distribute to your family and friends. http://www.phonecaption.com/
  • Clear Captions: ClearCaptions is a free captioning service that works together with your phone and your Internet-connected computer.

ClearCaptions on your phone call is similar to closed captions on your TV; you can hear AND read what’s being said. This takes the frustration out of hearing on the phone. Instead of asking people to repeat themselves or guessing at what was said, you can read the person’s words which display during your call. http://www.clearcaptions.com/help.php
