Price is what the vendor listed when last checked. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions This phone has to be connected to both a phone line and the internet before captions will appear. That is a small project, but a family member can do it with the instructions in about half an hour. It does not need a professional, so guided setup fits.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The CapTel 880i is a desk phone that shows word-for-word captions of your phone calls on a large 10-inch screen, so you can read what the other person says while you listen. It works on both incoming and outgoing calls, and you can turn captions on or off at any point in a call. The font size and color are adjustable, with an extra-large option, which helps if standard captions are hard to read. A built-in answering machine records messages and captions them, and the phone book holds 95+ frequently called names. It needs both a phone line and an internet connection, can run over Wi-Fi, and captions only work on calls within the United States.
