Wireless CapTel® by Sprint® powered by Raketu® iOS app lets users read their mobile conversations with the aid of captions

New York, NY – August 6, 2013 - - Raketu, a leading global Internet and mobile communications company, today announced the expanded Partnership with Sprint to provide mobile applications that allow deaf and hard-of-hearing users to read their conversations with the aid of captions.
