About

CaptiVision Client

Read full description

CaptiVision Client turns an iPhone into a camera and microphone for CaptiVision Host, so Deaf and hard of hearing people can see who is speaking in a room and read live captions with each speaker's name. Also supports using iPad, Mac and Vision Pro as cameras. Stand a few phones around a classroom, meeting room or small hall, facing the people who will talk. Borrowed phones work too. Each phone scans the code on the iPad and joins in seconds. There are no accounts to create and no network settings to change. WHAT THE PHONE DOES • Films the room and sends the picture to the iPad over your Wi-Fi, with very little delay. • Uses all of its microphones together, aimed where the camera points, so the iPad hears the person in front of it clearly. • Keeps faces well lit, even with a bright window behind someone. • Shows its battery, temperature, sound level, connection and a level guide, readable from across the room. • Connects straight to the iPad when the Wi-Fi is weak, so the video keeps up. • Reminds you to turn on Do Not Disturb, so a phone call does not cut off a camera. • Can be set as an interpreter camera, to keep a sign language interpreter on screen. MADE FOR LENDING A PHONE The person holding the phone stays in control. They can mute the microphone or leave at any time, and the iPad cannot override that. When a session ends, the phone closes its camera view and keeps nothing: no recordings, no photos, no face data. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Video and sound go only to the iPad on your own network, only while the phone is in a session. Nothing is sent to the internet, to us, or to anyone else. YOU ALSO NEED CaptiVision Host on an iPad or Mac. CaptiVision Client is free. Terms of Use: (Apple Standard EULA) https://captivision.app/terms Privacy: https://captivision.app/privacy
