A visual impaired friend need that software, i have got a demo version that works first 10 minutes that i have attached to this post, later you must restart phone if you want to get working again.


One of the problems facing the visually impaired is the use of the mobile phone. It is designed basically on visual concepts, without considering the needs of the blind and partially sighted.

Mobile Accessibility is a computer application which makes the mobile phone accessible in different ways and allows its uses to be adapted to the needs of the visually handicapped.

Mobile Accessibility has a powerful voice synthesizer designed by the Swiss company SVOX, which allows simple access to all the uses of the mobile phone.

Mobile Accessibility is designed to work with new generation phones with the symbian and windows ce operation system which are listed below.

Mobile accessibility does not need any additional external adaptive device to work. Once loaded in the mobile phone it is fully functional.

Features

Allows SMS and multimedia (MMS) messages to be sent, received and read.

Allows entries on the list of contacts to be added, removed and updated.

Gives access to the list of calls received and dialling of any of these numbers at the simple touch of a button.

Caller ID.

Operation of alarms.

Access to the call log ( missed calls, numbers dialled,...).

Automatic start-up when phone is switched on.

Allows ringing tones to be associated with contacts.

Hello everybody!

I am a visually impaired person and I cannot afford the full version of the MOBILE MAGNIFIER becouse it cost about 200 euros. So i was wondering if anyone could send me one. (full version only needed) I've been looking for a symbian phone which would offer large font sizes for years now but havent found one. I heard about this progrman yesterday and would be forever happy if someone could share this programn. I'm going straight away to shop getting a 6600 nokia if i get this software. PLEASE this is very important. I thinks it's a "crime" to ask for 200 euros for a progrman that coul help a people so much in his life. Waiting for answers. I'm sorry to post also in this thread for the mobile magnifier but thought this would relate it so... So I'm not asking for the reading program. only a magnifier.

I am uinable to use my phone properly and struggle every day. Any help greatly appreciated. Also if anyone wishes to describe how to install talk on the ohone I will also appreciate " Sorry if this is alreadyu in the text somewhere but my screen reader does not read everything. Thankyou
