We know that many individuals in the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community prefer video calls when connecting with friends and family. Being able to see the other person—picking up on visual cues, reading lips, and seeing facial expressions—makes a conversation much easier to follow.
Today, we’re bringing that visual connection together with the captioning you trust. Introducing InnoCaption Video, a new app designed to make video calls as seamless and accessible as a face-to-face conversation.
Mainstream video calling platforms weren’t designed with the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community in mind. The quality of the captioning isn't good enough, and you have to dig through complicated menus of settings just to turn captions on in the first place — only to have them suddenly disappear in the middle of a call for no reason. Plus, there is the constant frustration of being unable to have a video call with a loved one just because you have an iPhone and they have an Android.
We built InnoCaption Video to solve these problems. It provides a simple, familiar video calling experience just like you're used to, but with our best-in-class captioning front and center.
And the best part? Hearing friends and family can download the app, too!
InnoCaption Video is designed to make it easier than ever to connect with the people you care about:
We’ve been testing InnoCaption Video with members of our community, and the feedback has been incredible.
“As someone who’s been profoundly deaf their whole life, I’ve always had a bit of anxiety around calls but InnoCaption Video has changed that for me. It makes video calls feel so easy — the real-time captions are everything!" — Abigail Erb, author of The Deaf Girl
“Video calls are a big part of my life since I really need to see people’s faces when I talk to them. Having captions that stay on screen instead of disappearing is a real help, and it makes it easier for me to follow along and have smoother conversations day to day.” — Robin Gillon, professional freestyle skier
Whether your friends have the app or not, getting connected is quick and easy.
For the best video calling experience experience, invite your friends and family to download the InnoCaption Video app. Once they have it, you can call each other directly within the app and get inbound call notifications.
You can also call someone who doesn’t have the app by sharing a unique call link. This is perfect for one-off calls or connecting with people who aren't on the platform yet.
To create and share a call link:
The recipient can join the call instantly through their web browser on any device—no app download required.
InnoCaption Video is our next step toward a world where connection has no limits. The next time you want to see a friendly face, open the app and experience how effortless a captioned video call can be.
