Benefitting from a Special Needs Phone Those who have special needs sometimes face a bit of a disadvantage when it comes to talking to people on the phone. For people that are hearing impaired or have speech impediments or other challenges, being able to communicate with friends and loved ones can be difficult. In order to balance these challenges out, technology has been utilized over and over again in order to provide those with challenges with a means to counter them. There have been a host of products created to help out those who have special needs.

The Captioned Telephone One of the more recent innovations has been the special needs phone. Created for those who have trouble hearing other people on the phone, captioned telephones provide a quick and easy fix to these issues. Captioned telephones feature voice recognition software and ad display screen in order to show text conversions to the person who is hearing impaired. When someone else speaks into the line, it runs through this voice recognition software and then displays what has been said in text form on the screen. The person who has hearing challenges can then read the text and respond. This is a great way to both increase clarity of conversations and make both people feel at home with what they are doing. There is very little lag time when using the voice recognition software, allowing for quick and accurate conversations. The voice recognition software is top of the line, and is very effective at getting things done. This is not the voice recognition software that many of us fought with years ago as it was developing and coming into its own. In this case, it is a realized product which is able to deliver quality results every time.

By integrating cutting edge technology into these products, special needs phones can serve their purpose very effectively, with little to no lag or issues.
