SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CaptionCall, the leading provider of captioned telephone service, is continuing to offer hard-of-hearing people who need captions to use the telephone more choices in phone installations during COVID-19. CaptionCall provides essential communication services that keep people with hearing loss connected to family, friends, and associates.

“With the pandemic and social distancing guidelines in place, we wanted to alleviate customer concerns,” notes Scott Wood, CEO of CaptionCall, the leading provider of captioned telephone service. “We have re-structured the way we provide these essential services. We offer self-guided phone installations and have implemented the highest level of safety protocols for our trainers who install and support customers’ phones. Our priority is to always keep our customers safe and connected to the outside world, which, during COVID-19, is more important than ever.”

Customers can choose self-guided, remotely guided, or in-person installation of phones by local CaptionCall representatives who follow current COVID-19 guidelines, including the wearing of masks. In addition, as many people with hearing loss read lips to better understand conversations, most CaptionCall representatives use clear plastic face masks.

The CaptionCall service displays large, easy-to-read text of conversations on a CaptionCall phone or mobile device and is available at no cost to eligible customers. Delivery, installation, hands-on or remote training, and support is complimentary, thanks to the federally funded program that pays the total cost of service for people who need captions to use the telephone.

CaptionCall offers quick, accurate captioning. Its patented Silkscroll technology makes reading captions easier and allows for a more natural flow of conversation. Popular CaptionCall features include speakerphone, custom audio, and captioned phone messages, and the service is compatible with hearing aids and offers Bluetooth connectivity as well.
