For many years now, TTY machines have been use by people who are deaf or hard of hearing to communicate over the phone. This system has an operator that types out messages that appear on a small screen. The operator can also verbally speak messages typed by a user if the other user is of hearing. But many people who still have some hearing don’t use TTYs. This can lead to conversations where misunderstandings or people are asked to repeat lines. Traditionally TTY screens can be hard to read for people that have low vision. For those people a landline telephone by Clarity might be a solution. Their Ensemble captioning phone has an amplified handset and tablet screen that displays large font captioning.
