NOTE: The
CapTel
program must be running on your computer
before you receive calls on your
CapTel
phone. If the
CapTel
program
is not going at the time you receive a call, you will only be able to see
captions on the
CapTel
display screen (not on the computer monitor).
You cannot switch over to view captions on the computer monitor
during a call.
CapTel
will save the current on-screen captions to a generic text file.
The file will be saved on the default directory for your computer,
typically under “
My Documents
”.To re-read the conversation, simply
open the file in the
CapTel
program or import it into a word
processing application (such as Microsoft Word).
