Make and receive textphone calls from your Windows home computer!

Traditional textphones are sometimes expensive to buy, and difficult to operate. But now there is a much better solution for keeping in touch...

Building on the success of our other TalkByText products, we are proud to present TalkByText Home Edition. Designed for the domestic environment, it enables you to make and receive text calls from an ordinary home computer over the public Internet.

TalkByText Home Edition is a state-of-the-art application that turns your Microsoft Windows PC into a real-time text terminal. It is easy to use because of its familiar Windows interface and because it will automatically configure itself.

Important: TalkByText Home Edition is designed and licensed for individual use in the home environment only. For business use or on corporate LANs etc, see TalkByText Business Edition.

Unlike Instant Messaging systems, TalkByText Overview provides real-time, character-by-character text, essential for proper conversation and for making calls via a text relay service. You can read more about real-time text versus other text based technologies by clicking here.
