Hmmmm

 

If you are getting the phone from them, good luck finding one that will run
Talks and or MobileSpeak.

You probably will need to get a phone off of Amazon.com and Ebay and then
just put the Sim card into it. Yes you will need to download and install
Talks and or MobileSpeak before it will talk.

Phones like the following will work.

Nokia models only and this isn't a complete list. A * mean all models
starting with what is there.

Hi All:

 

I used to be on the BlindPhones list, but am new here.  I'm a 45-year-old
woman who's totally blind and physically disabled, and I'm wondering if
anyone can advise me on an issue I'm having.

 

     I applied for a SafeLink phone, which is covered by SSI, (250 minutes
and unlimited texts per month, and you can pay for extra minutes.)  It is
done through TrackFone, and I'm trying to find a listing of which
screen-readers, such as Talks and Mobile Speak, work with which phones.  I'm
having trouble finding this information, as both sites have changed and no
longer have a simple page listing which phones their screen-reader works on,
at least that I've been able to find.

 

     Could anyone send me either a link or a listing of this information, if
it's available?  I'd be truly deeply grateful, as, due to my disabilities,
searching and sifting through sites is very slow and painful.  

 

     You can reach me directly at:

     Thanks so much in advance for any information or advice.

 

Sincerely,

Becky C.
