A captioned telephone service (CTS) system for blocking spam calls includes a CTS server and a database. A CTS user's equipment is associated with a CTS number and an original phone number. The CTS server is configured to allow the user to elect to use an original number service and a call drop service. If the original number service is set, when the user places a phone call to a peer by using the CTS number, the original phone number, instead of the CTS number, is displayed as caller identification on a communications device of the peer. The CTS server assists the user to set up call forwarding and checks whether the call forwarding was successfully set. If the call drop service is set, the CTS server drops a call, directed to the CTS number. However, emergent calls or emergency related calls are excluded from the call drop service.

Captioned telephone service system for providing original number service and anti-spam function

A captioned telephone service system having the text-to-speech and answer assistance functions includes a captioner, a text-to-speech system, and an answer assistance system. The captioner provides captions to a user during a phone call between the user and a peer by receiving the peer's voice from a peer device, transcribing the peer's voice into caption data, and transferring the caption data to the user device. The text-to-speech system is configured to receive text data from the user device, convert the text data into speech, and transfer the voice of the speech to the peer device via the voice path in real time. The answer assistance system is configured to receive the caption data from the captioner, analyze the caption data to identify a question, analyze the question to generate answer suggestions, and forward the answer suggestions to the user device for review, editing, and selection.
