[blindlaw] Desk Phone Accessibility

See if Avaya's accessibility solution at the following link could be used in your office. It appears to be limited to select phone models, and I'm not sure if it resolves the issue of context-sensitive button functions:

Subject: [blindlaw] Desk Phone Accessibility

Hi all,

I am wondering if anyone has tips for making flat-paneled phones accessible, particularly the type where the function of the buttons changes depending on what is currently happening on the phone. My previous jobs used the phone very rarely, but I will need them more at the firm. They tell me they use Avaya phones, if that's helpful. In addition to having voicemail forwarded to my email, i am also wondering how I can access the missed call list and whether there is a way to have caller-ID info spoken aloud on these more powerful phones.

Thanks for any assistance.

Laura
