The captioned telephone brought to you by Maryland Relay & Ultratec
Captioned Telephone allows people who have difficulty understanding what is being said over the telephone to receive live captions
of their telephone conversations.
Captioned Telephone looks and works like an amplified telephone, but everything your caller says is displayed in text,
word-for-word while you are listening to the speaker. It is not a TTY, but is a telephone with built-in captions,
designed to let you have a more natural interactive conversation.
Maryland Relay continues Captioned Telephone Trial
On May 12, 2007, the State of Maryland awarded a contract to Hamilton Relay to provide Captioned Telephone service
for Captioned Telephone users. The trial will continue until the FCC approves Maryland to offer this service on a
permanent basis.
