Helpful for deaf and hard-of-hearing users, and anyone in a loud environment.
Optional, always
Captions are optional and can be turned on or off any time in settings.
Who it's for
Calling family who speak another language. Cross-border friendships and relationships. Anyone who finds it easier to read along, or who is deaf or hard of hearing. Zado makes every call easier to follow.
