Abstract: A communication system and method for displaying text captions corresponding to voice communications between an assisted user's mobile wireless device and a separate hearing user's device includes at least one communication component configured to enable the appliance to communicate with a relay, a display, and a processor operably coupled to the at least one communication component and the display. The processor is configured to enable the assisted user to establish an association between the appliance and the mobile device, receive text originating at the relay, the text corresponding to a transcript of the hearing user's voice signal originating at the hearing user's device, and cause text captions corresponding to the received text to be displayed on the display.

Abstract: A method for maintaining a captioning service for an assisted user (AU) comprising the steps of, at a relay, connect to a second AU device via the computer network address, receive an HU calling number from the second AU device, upon recognizing the HU calling number as an emergency number, assign a temporary relay calling number to the AU, store the temporary relay calling number with the computer network address associated with the second AU device, use the emergency number to establish a first communication link with an emergency service provider and present the temporary relay calling number to the emergency service provider, upon termination of the first communication link, upon receiving a call using the temporary relay calling number, use the temporary calling number to identify the network address of the second AU device and the calling number of the first AU device and use the calling number of the first AU device and the network address to re-establish communication with the first AU device and the second AU device, respectively.

Abstract: A system and method for facilitating communicating between a hearing user and a hard of hearing user that incorporates a device including at least one communication component configured to enable the appliance to communicate with a relay, a display, and a processor. The processor is configured to enable the hard of hearing user to establish an association between an appliance and a mobile device used by the hard of hearing user. The mobile device is configured to communicate with the hearing user's device, receive text originating at the relay, the text corresponding to a transcript of the hearing user's voice signal originating at the hearing user's device, and cause text captions corresponding to the received text to be displayed on the display.

Abstract: A system and method for use with an assisted user's communication device that includes a display. The method includes providing a user communication device including a processor that is programmed to perform the step of, upon disconnection of an emergency call to a hearing user in which a captioning service has provided text transcription of voice messages from the hearing user, maintaining a link to the captioning service for a predetermined period of time. The processor also is programmed to perform the step of recognizing the call as an emergency call upon placement of the call, and the captioning service is automatically initiated upon the processor performing that recognition.
