Where did you get that price by the way?

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.

These 2 products are very expensive. Why is it that access technology is so expensive when a large number of visually impaired/disabled people will be either out of work or in relatively low paid employment?
