ScreenPhone is ideal for people who want to voice their call but can no longer hear the response and find textphones too complicated.
You can read the text on phone's large screen showing what the person is saying to you instead of trying to hear the voice. The text size can be enlarged.
To read the text on phone's screen you will need to use Typetalk, the phone relay service which an operator listen to the person talking to you and type words that appears on your phone's screen.
ScreenPhone can quicken the calls due to one way being spoken, and will enable friends and family to hear the deafened person’s voice, making it more personal.
Developed by Geemarc in partnership with RNID, the ScreenPhone uses cutting edge technology but is straightforward and easy to use.
The appearance and functions are similar to a standard amplified phone but with the addition of a large screen. The size of the font can be increased to make it easy to read and answer phone messages can be replayed on the display in text. If you have good and bad days with your hearing you can use the ScreenPhone as an amplified phone and other members of the household can use it as a standard phone.
