I'm a big doctor who fan! Season 7 Pt. 1 is available for purchase on iTunes AND it has captions! (There is also a program called "Subler" that can add a .srt file to iTunes video manually for other iTunes content that doesn't have captions already.) To answer the OP's questions: 1)...

Is there any update to this info? Does anyone know if Webcaptel will get 10 digit numbers?

I bought a treo pro and it works!!! Basically all I need is access to wifi and a skype in number and with this phone I can have an all in one device for unlimited phone calls for about $33 a year.

I took the plunge and bought a skype in number. I tested it on my computer with speakers and a mic, and it worked. Now I have to buy a pda that'll work with webcaptel, and then skype should probably work on it too.

rjconn88, that makes sense. I'm just worried that since it's an internet phone it might not work for some reason. Bottesini, yes, I found that out later, so it's more like 5 bucks a month. (I'll fix my earlier post, thanks for pointing it out.) Still not a bad price. What I couldn't figure...

I'm thinking of buying a treo800w and noticed that you get can a skype in number for (Edit) $5 a month. I was thinking maybe I could try something like this: enter in the skype number in the webcaptel to go then the number I want to call, then using the speakers/mic to hear/talk while reading...

Wow, it's like you're describing my life LOL!!! I have poor social skills for this reason. Most of the time I feel left out and have to fight feelings of loneliness. I don't really have any tips, because I haven't been able to overcome it. The few friends I have are mostly online and we...

This is so awesome!!!! I'm all of the sudden thinking about getting one just for this!!!!!! On second thought.... it costs too much...

I already tried ubuntuforums but I haven't got an answer to my post. I'd figured a site for HOH/deaf people would know/care more about it then they would. Thanks for the response!

Does anyone here use Ubuntu 8.04? If so, would you know what tv tuners are compatible with Ubuntu, but yet have closed caption support? It would have to be a hybrid or digital tuner, maybe usb. Thanks in advance. kshsj777

Yes, I saw that, but I was wondering if that only applied to regular cell phones, since Blackberries are able to do IP relay and some other stuff that computers can do. I mean, it's just a web page, so how is it different to use than on a Blackberry? I don't have one by the way, but if there...

I am wondering the same thing. With WebCapTel can that be used on a blackberry with an internet browser?

I'm not sure of all the terminology, so I will just describe what I want to do, and I'd like to know if it's possible. What I want to do, is speak into a microphone connected to my computer/laptop, and for my voice to connect right to the phone of the person I'm calling. Then when the other...

Hi! I just joined. I've been hearing impaired ever since I was a baby, probably due a medicine the doctors gave me to save my life (I was born premature.) I have a severe to profound hearing loss.
