Hello Jackie,
Thank you very much for posting the link for the SmartVision phone. I see it
is running on android 4.0, which, by the way, is an older version than
Telorion currently supports.
As for Telorion, my wife Moray and I first saw this demonstrated at the sight
Matters exhibition run by KAB in folkestone last September. We were
immediately impressed and Moray bought her Galaxy S4 Mini last month. She has
some sight, so uses Zoom, the magnification part of Telorion. I have used Vox
with the keypad with some success, but I need to get used to typing on the
screen through the holes which is quite different from using a physical
keypad.
From the short demonstration I heard about the SmartVision phone I am
wondering if I may find this easier to use than a phone running Telorion.
Also, the price is £495, a little less than a Telorion phone.
From your comments, Jackie, I take it you are not impressed with the Kapten
GPS products, and smartvision uses voice recognition as one means to control
the phone's features. Telorion also has voice recognition but you must be
connected either through a wireless network or your phone's network to use it.
We have had some fun with Moray's phone with some interesting results.
I will keep my options open for now, but as Moray already has a phone running
Telorion, I think at the end of the day I will go with that, bearing in mind
it is frequently updated, all updates are free and there are plans to support
newer phones and later versions of Android.
Best wishes,
Clive Pallett
