User Reviews

CaptionMate is highly valued for real-time, bidirectional captions that empower hearing-impaired users, but onboarding friction and occasional reliability/stability issues persist.
Pros
  • Real-time captions during calls enable Deaf/HOH users to communicate effectively; widely described as life-changing.
  • Captions work for both incoming and outgoing calls, giving users independence from traditional landlines.
  • High transcription accuracy with transcripts that can be saved and reviewed later.
  • Two-color captioning (audience vs speaker) provides clear readability.
  • Excellent, responsive customer support; reviewers highlight helpful representatives.
Cons
  • Registration and onboarding can be hindered by the need for a referral code, with multiple reviewers reporting difficulty obtaining or invalid codes.
  • Call reliability varies, with reports of missed rings/delays and some calls being mislabelled or not connected, affecting usability.
  • Occasional glitches or crashes that can drop call history or prevent callbacks.

I missed over a year worth of missed calls that were important. I only recently figured out that it was captionmate the whole time. The CC Works good enough throughout a call. But waiting on someone to call you and your phone doesn't ring doesn't help. I thought it was a Verizon issue for quite some time and had a lot of resets over the past year. Finally today Verizon changed the classic to cloud and I received the call real fast. Yet when in classic mode her call would get bounced back and not even ring on either endnot was there an option for voicemail. With cloud it acted a bit quicker to ring and pass networks. In classic mode it's a 50/50 change the call may go through and if it does the voicemail picks up and does not even alert a call and voice mail happenes. When the switch to cloud was made somehow all the old non existent calls and voice mails popped up. It went back a year and a half of missed calls. I can honestly say I dislike this app soo much after causing me to lose a great job offer that would have change my life especially being Deaf.

This app has been amazing. It’s been extremely helpful. It’s been a lifesaver and makes things so much easier. Especially with the transcripts. You can go over any part of the conversation to confirm you understood correctly.
