Caption Call Account Manager

My name is Tyrone Allen and I’m the CaptionCall Account Manager for the Houston, TX area.

CaptionCall is the producer of captioned and amplified phones for hearing impaired individuals. During this uncertain time, our advanced, captioned phone is needed now more than ever for the at-risk and underserved. The hearing & understanding of crucial instructions are paramount! CaptionCall provides “a communication bridge to the outside world” which is vitally important to connect with loved ones, government resources, avoiding isolation and staying informed. The phone & captioning service is free

I am hearing impaired and wear hearing aids in both ears, so I intimately know about the daily challenges to communication that the hearing impaired face. WE tend to “suffer in silence” because WE don’t know about all the technological advances that exist. I’m very passionate about what I get to do every day!!

Chatpal: The new app for chat

Unfortunately, not everyone is familiar with ASL. Yet, situations can generally call for us to communicate with these individuals to simply get information or perform tasks. Lip reading offers some relief, but is not always reliable. Why not just send them a quick text?

Introducing CHATPAL: a hyper-local (within 300 feet around YOU) social messenger app. SMALL [TALK] CHAT MADE EASY! It’s FREE. It’s PRIVATE. It’s CONVENIENT. It’s FREEDOM without the butterflies. Chat. Ask. Discuss. Share. Broadcast. Flirt. Ramble. Just look around, connect with users immediately around you, your C-Pals, and make that small [talk] chat.

Coffee shops, bars, airports, traffic–you name it, there are countless paths you cross folks you personally DON’T know. But wish you had a quick or long talk with. Chat is in. Messaging is in. Hyper-local messaging is uber in.

Enter ChatPal. And message C-Pals. Only within 300 feet, you say? That’s a lot of ground to cover, we say! Chat with a future friend at the other end of a coffee shop or a bar, ping another driver in a traffic jam, broadcast an announcement at a concert, or chat with a C-Pal during an emergency. One-on-one, One-to-many, Group Broadcasts–with C-Pals. ALL this WITHOUT a user’s contact details or compromising your own PRIVACY. Much like in the real world? Yup! But much more. That’s what we are talkin’ about..a’hem chatting about.

And YES, we can….

+ Keep all personal details PRIVATE–name, number, yada yada- unless you feel like sharing

+ Chat with MULTIPLE users at the same time
