Hi Joe,
 
If you're a window eyes user, there's a script available now called Product
Search, where you press a hotkey, and a dialog pops up asking you what to
look for; it searches the web, including vendors of special technology for
the blind, and puts the results up in a normal windows dialog, with a
description for each item, and a button to go to it's web site.  (you can
get a similar search by going to the web site of blind bargains, but you'll
have to deal with the results in a web browser).
 
I entered talking phone and cordless, and came up with this item right away;
it's available from Amazon:

Subject: [tabi] home telephone!



Hi, I am looking for a telephone for my home it or I would like it to have
voice navigation and also speak the incoming call. I would like for it to
have fairly good size keypad buttons, don't have to be real large ones but
fairly good size. I would like it to have speaker phone. It could be corded
or cordless. Anyone have any suggestions?
