[Electronics-Talk] review of blind-friendly cell-phones wanted

[Jim Barbour]

Wow, lots of exclamation marks.

I think what Sandra is asking for is an overview of what phones are
out there for blind folks.

I don't know if an AT vendor has put something like this together.

I basically know that there's the iPhone, which is the gold standard
in accessible smart phones.

I know there's a plethora of Android based cell phones running talkback.

There's also a few self voicing phones, like the Haven.

This isn't so much an overview as a bit of a painting of the landscape.

Take Care,

Jim

I'll vote for my IPhone since it does everything I want and then some!  What's near perfect for me may not be so for someone else!  For price and small size, check out the Apple SE IPhone.

I’ve looked online some, but a lot of the things I’ve seen are now outdated. Someone must know more than I do; a Google search is only as good as the one inputting the search request. Thanks!
