InnoCaption allows you to view captions on your cell phone while sending the call audio to a landline device for outbound calls. This feature is great for individuals who are hard of hearing that may want to use a landline telephone or conference speakerphone for longer calls, group calls or for better audio quality.
This feature can be found under the InnoCaption app settings under "Audio to Landline." Once this feature is set up, each time you make an outgoing call, you will have the option to choose a saved landline phone number to forward the call audio to (you also have the option to keep the call on your cell phone). When you choose the landline phone to forward to, that phone will ring. After picking up the landline phone, you will be connected to the party you are trying to call. You will be able to hear and speak from the landline phone while using the InnoCaption app to read the captions. You can set up more than one landline phone to be used with this feature.
