Is there a cost to download the "WatchESPN" app?.
#Someone wants to put in cable will my caption phone work android
WatchESPN is available for use on the following mobile devices: Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, iPad Mini (must have iOS 7.0 or later) and Android Mobile and tablet devices, including the Kindle Fire (running version 4.0 and above). What are the compatible mobile and tablet devices?.I plan to go, maybe with my phone, and let everyone there know of these problems. They have set up an information session on caption call at NYC Center for Hearing and Communication. It has now been another week and no one has called.
I waited 2 weeks for a call-back with an appointment, and finally called them a second time. I was away for the summer and called again when I returned to get them to send someone out to fix it. (Of course if I had been unable to hear at all on the phone, that would have been useless) They told me first to unplug it, then to do a restart with a paper clip!! This is hi-tech? Needless to say that didn't work. But the captioning can't pick up fast speech either, so what's the point? (I need captioning for my captions?) But my real annoyance is that 2 months ago, it stopped working and when I called customer service they tried to get me to fix it over the phone. I do have some hearing on the telephone, but my main problem is that people talk too fast for me to process what they say. (My mother always said you get what you pay for). I've had mine for several months and am quite dissatisfied.

But the captioners and equipment are gov't funded and offered free to the Deaf and HOH just like the state programs' equipment and service. The CaptionCall gets FCC funding, so there is no charge at all to me, but it is not yet available through CTAP or any state's equipment provider. With that lousy technology, there is no human involved at all, so the captioning is awful. As I understand it, the CaptionCall is *not* like that crap on YouTube at all. Unlike the Captel phone, one one has to dial some special number when calling you, so you get captioning. But the bigger advantage, to me, is that you can take all calls and all calls are supposed to come in captioned. (By the way, I've heard there is an Internet version of the Captel phone, not usually provided by the state, but not considered all that much better).

And the software in the phone is a step up from the Captel. It's supposed to be faster I guess because it comes through the internet. So there is human oversight to make corrections and so on.
And I just wasn't sure, you know? I've since then learned that the captioning technology is pretty much the same as Captel - the captioner has to train his/her voice to the computer, repeat your words, and the computer then generates the captioning to your phone. But they were rushing people to get one to avoid the $99 one time fee. I saw the CaptionCall at the Tech Day at our local Deaf Center last year. It would be so nice to answer the phone again!Īny comments about how well this Caption Call works? So I use IP-Relay through AIM mostly for incoming calls. We can't afford *two* phone lines, one for DH (husband) who is hearing and one for me. I haven't answered my home phone for many years because I can't hear well enough to take straight voice calls. No special #s to call first, like if someone is calling me through CapTel. The big difference that makes me interested in getting this, is that people can call our regular home phone # and when I answer, there will automatically be captioning. I do have to pay for phone calls, toll, long distance, just as I do now. The phone and caption services are free, as it is the CapTel. You have to have DSL internet service as it works through the internet, although I understand I don't have to have my internet on on the computer all the time. It's supposed to be better than the CapTel phone that I have from the state.
