Sprint First to Launch WebCapTel\u00ae On the Go, a New and Free Mobile
\nSolution for Hard of Hearing Customers <\/p>\n
Allows customers to read word-for-word captions on select Sprint
\ndevices <\/p>\n
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. \u2013 Oct. 20, 2008 \u2013 Sprint (NYSE:S) today
\nannounced the availability of Sprint WebCapTel\u00ae On the Go, a new,
\nfree mobile Web-based service that allows hard of hearing customers to
\nread word-for-word captions on Windows Mobile 6 Web browsers, such as
\nthe Diamond by HTC, Mogul by HTC, Palm Treo 800w and the MOTO Q9c by
\nMotorola. In addition, this service is also compatible with the Safari
\n2.0 Web browser. This new service is expected to help an estimated 30
\nmillion Americans with hearing loss. <\/p>\n
\u201cSprint is committed to equal access to all individuals,\u201d said
\nMike Ligas, director of Sprint Relay. \u201cAs such, we pride ourselves
\non offering the newest technology to hard of hearing individuals. This
\nnew solution offers the hard of hearing community mobility by being
\nable to read real-time Web-based captions on Windows-enabled mobile
\ndevices.\u201d <\/p>\n
With Sprint WebCapTel On the Go, users can make calls using two
\nphones — reading captions on a wireless phone and listening and
\nspeaking on a second phone. Prior to making a call, the user would log
\nonto http:\/\/www.sprintcaptel.com
\n on one mobile device to read text captions of what the other party
\nis saying. For more information on Sprint\u2019s wireless devices and
\nselect plans, go to the Sprint Relay Store at
\nhttp:\/\/www.sprintrelaystore.com
\n. <\/p>\n
Sprint WebCapTel On the Go is an extension of Sprint\u2019s existing
\nWebCapTel service, which also provides captions during phone calls,
\nbut requires a computer with an Internet browser of Internet Explorer
\n7.0, Firefox 3.0 or Safari 2.0 on which to display the captions. This
\nnew and free service is available almost anywhere as long as the
\nwireless device is equipped with Windows Mobile 6 or an Apple Safari
\nWeb browser. Sprint WebCapTel On the Go changes spoken words and
\nsounds heard on a telephone into words to read. <\/p>\n
\u201cSprint WebCapTel On the Go allows individuals with hearing loss
\nthe mobility that many of us take for granted,\u201d said Robert Engelke,
\npresident of Ultratec, Inc., the company that developed CapTel
\ntechnology. \u201cIt gives people with hearing loss the independence to
\nmake and receive telephone calls without the necessity of wireline
\nphones or computer connectivity.\u201d <\/p>\n
This free service is available for customers anywhere in the United
\nStates and within U.S. Territories. However, calls to or from
\ninternational locations, such as Canada or Mexico, are not available.
