This new, groundbreaking product is a telephone with a difference.

You can speak your part of the call as usual but at the press of a button you can receive your caller's conversation back in words on a screen (using RNID Typetalk operator*).  Developed by Geemarc in partnership with RNID, the ScreenPhone uses cutting edge technology but is straightforward and easy to use.

The appearance and functions are similar to a standard amplified phone but with the addition of a large screen.  The size of the font can be increased to make it easy to read and answer phone messages can be replayed on the display in text.  If you have good and bad days with your hearing you can use the ScreenPhone as an amplified phone and other members of the household can use it as a standard phone.

ScreenPhone is ideal for people who want to voice their call but can no longer hear the response and find textphones too complicated.

*Making a telephone call
