How CaptionCall works
CaptionCall works just like any other phone call, except you don’t have to struggle to hear it. We transform your phone calls into text and display it on the big, auto-scrolling screen as the person’s talking.
We have been fine tuning our captioned telephone service for the hard-of-hearing since 2010 to give you the best captioned phone experience.

CaptionCall is part of the federal government’s Internet Protocol Captioned Telephone Service (IP CTS) program, part of a mandate of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to ensure people with hearing loss have equal access to telephone calls.
The funding for the service comes from fees the FCC collects from telecommunications companies. The FCC uses that funding to reimburse each minute of captioning service Sorenson provides instead of customers paying for it out of pocket. This is why the service is only available to people with hearing loss who need captions to use the phone.
