FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS ANYONE BUT REGISTERED USERS WITH HEARING LOSS FROM USING INTERNET PROTOCOL (IP) CAPTIONED TELEPHONES WITH THE CAPTIONS TURNED ON. IP Captioned Telephone Service may use a live operator. The operator generates captions of what the other party to the call says. These captions are then sent to your phone. There is a cost for each minute of captions generated, paid from a federally administered fund.

Ratings and reviews

I love being able to get real time captioning. This app does an excellent job. The app works by forwarding your calls to their HQ, then calling your phone. The problem is the dropped calls and the time between when the call comes in and when I am able to actually speak, people hung up. I missed important calls that I couldn't call back. A dropped call from England, which luckily I was able to return, cost me $60 since I don't have International calling. I had to remove this app.

The transcription takes too long to connect after answering, sometimes up to 10 seconds, so callers hang up. I have missed important calls because of this. I would also like the option to answer some calls through my regular phone, especially for family video calls. I really like that it transcribes both sides of the conversation and appreciate the dyslexia setting. Overall, it is one of the better apps but could improve with a few tweaks.

This app worked great... at first. Then there came the glitches. Transcriptions of calls became more and more inaccurate or difficult to parse. I am HoH so I rely on this app to get me through phone conversations. But also, when I wanted to keep out phone numbers that I didn't have in my contacts from calling me, it blocked ALL of them! Then, I'm not even notified till it's too late! Now I can't seem to fix it. I really need this but I might have to drop it if I'm not getting my regular calls.
