Email you can re-read. A call happens live, in audio, and then it’s gone. Miss a word and you interrupt, or you guess. Redtie Phone makes sure you don’t lose it — live captions let you read the calls you take, and an AI assistant answers the ones you can’t.
Whether or not you pick up, the conversation comes back to you in writing.
Captions appear as the words are said — both sides, labelled by speaker. Read the address. Read the time. Read the name back. Nothing rests on catching it first time, and nothing rests on asking someone to repeat themselves.
The keypad stays on screen alongside the captions, so a phone menu is still navigable without hearing it.
Not a menu, and not voicemail — a real conversation. It finds out who’s calling, what they need, and the best number to reach them on, then reads the digits back to make sure it got them right.
You get a written summary, the callback number, and the full transcript.
Around 466 million people worldwide have disabling hearing loss. For them a business phone number isn’t a way to be reached — it’s a barrier. That’s who Redtie Phone was designed for, and designing for them forced decisions nobody else makes.
Hiding one to show the other makes an automated phone menu impossible to get through. They stay on screen at the same time.
Incoming calls are something you can see and feel, not only something you can hear.
A tap on a contact never silently dials. You decide when a call starts.
Then we shipped it, and the people paying for it weren’t only who we expected. A business owner who kept missing calls and forgetting the details of the ones he took. An owner-operator whose whole business runs on getting an address and a pickup time exactly right. Different reasons. Same problem: a live, one-shot, audio-only channel loses things.
Missing a call is the symptom. The job is running a phone line you can rely on — with the people, the records and the control a business needs behind it.
Let the assistant pick up and watch the conversation as it happens. If it’s worth your time, take the call over mid-conversation — the caller carries on, and the captions carry on with them.
When the number matches someone in your contacts, the assistant handles the call as a known contact rather than a stranger — and doesn’t ask them for details you already have.
