Texting for the Visually Impaired
Imagine a Visually Impaired person using a mobile phone to text his/her friends?Impossible?Not with a new cellphone software designed for these people.The technology, called "Mobile Speak", is a screen reader for mobile phones that provides speech feedback as a user navigates through the phone's user interface.So if a person presses Menu => Messaging => Inbox, for example, the phone speaks and tells the person the menu item pressed. It can also read out text messages and even be able to decode text-speak abbreviations that Filipinos are fond of using.More about "Mobile Speak" in IT Matters and in Technologies for Lifelong Independence website.
