		In a CapTel conversation, both parties speak to one another as in traditional telephone calls, and the conversation is displayed on the text screen for the CapTel user to read.
		CapTel phones can also caption voice mail messages, Brady says, as long as the caption feature is turned on when receiving messages.
		CapTel technology allows conversation to flow more naturally, with callers able to speak at the same time or interrupt one another, while TTY conversations only allow one person to communicate at a time.

		CapTel User- late-deafened at age 40, now in her 70’s As an individual with a severe-profound hearing loss and very poor speech discrimination, I have very limited options in terms of the selection of hearing aids and telephone equipment.

		CapTel is not a TTY, but a telephone with built-in captions, designed to let you have a more natural interactive conversation.

	Kevin Colwell - Remarks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		CapTel is used primarily by people who are profoundly deaf and able to speak, including late-deafened people, cochlear implant users, VCO and two-line VCO users, amplified phone users, people who are hard of hearing and who have difficulty understanding speech over the phone.
		In this case (one-line CapTel), there is a service agency similar to TRS in the middle of the call.
		Remember in the first slide the one-line CapTel user picked up their phone and they dialed another party, and it contacted the CapTel center and the CapTel center used a second connection out to the other party.

		Captel simplifies the above method a LOT and I have been using it for a long time now.
		Whatever floats your boat, but I'd advise those who really want CapTel to really pressure CapTel Inc for a spot on their trial or to pressure your state government to make CapTel service available in your state.
		I don't want to be dependent too much on CapTel if the government decides not to make it permanent or if the service somehow goes away.

	DSHS Finds Enhanced Telephone Service For Deaf And Hard Of Hearing People Is Not Financially Sustainable (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		At issue is the CapTel system, which offers several improvements over conventional relay services offered to the approximately 450,000 Washington residents who are deaf or hard of hearing.
		"CapTel has been a popular program for dozens of the people participating in the pilot program, particularly people who have experienced hearing loss later in life," Raff said.
		Even a limited distribution of CapTel telephones to 200 people per year would cost $1.5 million by the fourth year, which would deplete the ODHH budget entirely.

	Bionic Ear Blog: Captel
		Have learned about a new device called Captel (captioned telephone) and debating whether or not I should use the Texas STAP program to try to get one or use the program to get a Sidekick II whenever more are in stock.
		Captel “displays written, word-for-word captions of everything the caller says.” However, I am not sure how accurate the system is as I haven’t seen a demo.
		When using CapTel, the operator can be thought of as “invisible,” so to speak, because the captionist does not have any direct communication with either party.”
