[access-uk] Re: Information needed concerning special mobile handsets for the blind

Hi Sam,

Talks is able to do all the 4 points you listed and much more. So it is up to 
you to decide which phone model best meets your needs and you want to go for. I 
recommend that you visit,

http://www.scansoft.com/speechpak/talks/

Where you will find more information about Talks and a list of phones which can 
run it, and I think there are links on that page to read more about each 
handset from that list. As well, after you get more details from that webpage 
you could visit your local mobiles shop to have your hands on these handsets, 
and then if you have a question about a particular phone model post it here and 
someone hopefully will be able to help.

I am not sure if anyone on this list would give you their account number and I 
don't see why you will need that anyway. After you make up your mind about 
which mobile you are getting, you could get it from any place where you live 
and then if you contact Computer Room Services I think they can sell you Talks 
and then all you need is to install it on your mobile. I think many people have 
done the same when they couldn't find a local Talks dealer in their area.

Cheers,

Amro

  Dear Sir/Madam,

              Compliments of the New Year to you. It is my sincere wish that 
God continue to strengthen you in your efforts towards making life worthwhile 
for the visually challenged.

              I got some information about some mobile handsets that can be 
very helpful for a blind/visually challenged individual that I believe can be 
secured with your assistance that gives an option of two speech output systems 
for mobile phones available at present. One being Talks software, which I 
gathered is a screen reader for a mobile phone. This can run on the Nokia 9210I 
and on phones that run the Symbian series 60 operating system. I also gathered 
that the Nokia 9210I and phones that run the Symbian series 60 operating system 
which includes Nokia 3650, 3660, 7650, 6600, N-Gage, and the Siemens SX1 are 
obtainable in your part of the world. I learnt the software is available from 
Computer Room Services for £150 and that customers need to supply their own 
handset.

  Since I reside a long way from Europe I will need your assistance in making a 
choice on my behalf by being more specific about the features or functions 
possessed by any of these mobile handsets with regards to the following;

  * Ability to announce/echo a character when struck

  * Ability to read a typed text message before being dispatched by user

  * Ability to read caller's number

  * Ability to read text message from a sender

  * Portability similar to the common handsets e.g. Nokia 3325, Sony Ericsson 
105, etc

              I look forward to your reply. I will want you to send an account 
that I can pay to enable you purchase a handset with this special software on 
my behalf and send it via any courier service, i.e. DHL, UPS, etc, to me as I 
have longed to secure this product for a long time now. I just hope you will 
understand and bear with me as I do not know of anywhere where these products 
are sold in my country, Nigeria. I look forward to hearing from you with 
regards this issue soonest.

              Thanks.

   

  Yours faithfully,

  Sam Glorious.
