Hi Jackie.
That's an interesting point. I wonder if it was a case of translation
from another language? So perhaps they have a different name for it but
the translation uses different words in the English language and we're
stuck with blind shell as a result? It should certainly be more catchy.
Cheers,
Mo.

Hi Mo
I am very pleased to see the phone becoming more popular, it’s what a lot of people want when they are unable to, or struggle with, using a Smartphone. I use my iPhone a lot for various apps, but having Blind Shell is great. I know this might be a little contentious, but I think the name Blind Shell puts people off. It comes across as being outdated or so garden-walled that only the very technology basic could use it. Not a bit of it though, it’s as useful as anything I have. Not sure what I would call it, but Blind Shell wouldn’t be it! (smile.)
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi Jackie.
I totally agree. Although we have not officially announced it yet, we are now supplying the Blind Shell in the UK as well and are in contact with the developers. If anyone would like any assistance, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us directly and we'll do our best to help you out.

Hi Mo
Many thanks indeed, job done on both, now we have Google voice!! I
think dealers should do this as a matter of course before
distributing the handsets, but I don’t think Cobolt has a clue
quite frankly.
Kind regards,

Hi.
Go to settings, and press star 3 times and hash 4 times. This
should take you to the phone's advanced menu. Try changing your
language from US to UK and see if that helps.
Cheers,
Mo.

Hi, I have reported this to Honza.
It makes no sense. There should be some way, to reset my black
phone, to UK english.
I’m guessing, there will be some kind of code, as i can’t see
them writing different software for each country.
They should put this information, on their website, and in the
userguide. Or even better, put it as an option on the phone.
But maybe, that would make too much sense.
I really like this phone, compared, to other phones of this
kind. But why, can’t they get the most simple things right.
Dave.

Hi Jackie,
It sounds like some of these phones are set to US English
instead of UK English, and there appears to be no means of
changing the language.
I would report this to Honza if I were you, he is the developer.
All the best
Steve

Hi Dave
My husband and I both have Black handsets, and the voices
comprise seven American voices, four female and three male,
both running the same software update as yourself. I’m
intrigued, so wonder if it’s the red version that has the
extra voices?
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Hi members.
I have 2 Blindshell classic handsets.
I was playing about with both of them this morning.
I am running the same software version on both of them, which
is 466, which is the latest.
However, I noticed, that 1 of the phones, has 18 voices, with
a British female voice.
The other phone, has only 7 voices, and is using an american
female voice.
I purchased both phones from Cobolt, a couple of weeks apart.
The only difference is, i purchased 1 of each colour.
I have looked all through the settings, and i can’t find
anything to rectify this strange issue.
Can anyone advise?
Many thanks,
Dave.
