NOTE: This is just a sample of the phones you'll find at Zalmar.com that feature talking caller ID. For more options, click this link to visit Zalmar.com<http://www.Zalmar.com> and search for the word "talking" in the search box. Accessories and additional phone systems can be found there. Note that not all features of the following phones are accessible. Navigating menus might not be possible by someone who is totally blind.
Panasonic KX-TG6445T DECT 6.0 Expandable 5-Handset Cordless Phone System with Dual Keypad, Talking Caller ID, Answering Machine and Talking Alarm Clock
Overview:

 *   DECT 6.0 Technology means less Interference: Engineered to work in 1.9GHz frequency, our DECT 6.0 phones won't conflict with common wireless devices such as 2.4GHz routers, wireless keyboards and mouses, microwave ovens and other household items. And because it's digital, you'll enjoy long range and clear sound while deterring eavesdropping.
 *   Call Block: Store the Caller ID info of any and all unwanted callers into your phone's Call Block list so that you can eliminate future pesky calls from them. After their information is stored, they'll get a busy signal if they call you again.
 *   Silent Mode: Now you can program each handset to ring or not at your discretion. For example, before you go to sleep, set the bedside handset to Silent Mode so that it won't ring for the duration of your slumber. In the meantime, the handset in another room is unaffected, and rings as usual.
 *   Talking Caller ID/Talking Alarm Clock/Talking Battery Alert: Now you don't have to be holding the phone to see who's calling; using text-to-speech technology, the caller ID information is announced in between rings! The phone also boasts an alarm clock that speaks to you, as in Its time for lunch. And the phone politely tells you when your battery is low with a Please charge phone reminder.
