KONNEKT CAPTIONING VIDEOPHONE BENEFITS

  1. Improve communication: Non-verbal communication such as lip reading, sign language, body language, nods and facial expression can double comprehension, lift levels of empathy and improve understanding. Smiles are contagious!
  2. Audio: The Captioning Videophone is loud, clear and compatible with hearing aids and cochlear implants. Users are able to hear incoming calls from a distance and ensure effective communication.
  3. Ensure safety and security: The Videophone ensures safety of the user by enabling the auto-answer feature for incoming calls from trusted contacts in case the user is unable to answer the call during an emergency or illness.
  4. Reduce loneliness: Social isolation and loneliness are linked to depression, poor sleep, heart disease, dementia, and other severe health issues. A recent OHSU study shows that FACE-TO-FACE contact, at least three times a week, specifically with family & friends, reduces social isolation and halves the risk of depression.
  5. Accessibility: The Videophone also has options to help those with mobility, dexterity, vision and cognitive limitations.
  6. Captioned video calls and phone calls: 
    • Captioning is automatic (no buttons to press) and fast (lag is usually only 1-2 seconds)
        - watch the videos on our website to see Captions in action
    • Captioning is available for multiple languages
    • Captions can be reviewed (this is an optional setting)
    • Captioned calls are incredibly easy -- there's no login required, no account numbers to remember, no operators to talk to, no web browser, no forms to fill in, nothing to type
    • Captioned assistance calls to family and carers can be made with a single button tap
    • Captioned calls do not require a landline or an active telephone service, the calls and the captioning are all sent over (any) Internet connection.
