Sprint WebCapTel® Solution Shows
Captions over the Internet During Phone Calls; Facilitating
Easier Conversations
Sprint WebCapTel is a web-based service that allows a person
who can speak but has difficulty hearing over the phone to
read word-for-word captions of their call on a web browser
during the call, while at the same time hearing the other person
using any telephone.
A user would make or receive calls while logged into a website
(www.sprintcaptel.com) and hear the person on the other line
using their own cell phone, desk phone, cordless phone, or even
an amplified phone. The user (if they have any residual hearing)
hears the person speaking through any telephone, not through
the internet or web browser. During the call, captions appear
on the user's web browser.
What equipment does one need to make or receive calls on WebCapTel?
A user only needs three things:
A computer with web browser
An internet connection to the computer
A working telephone that can receive calls
