[Ohio-talk] New Verizon telephone

This may be better than the KNFB Reader.  I have to look into this.  The 
Sighless Children is granting blind flok in the community funding for 
implaments needed that BSVI won't purchase for you unless you are employed.

Hi! Everyone. I received this information over the weekend from my niece
Emily who works for Verizon.  They have launched a new cell phone on
Saturday, March 15th. It is called the TALKS. it is a downloadable software
that is geared for customers that are blind or have low vision. Talks will
read out all information that appears on the handset screen including text
messages, emails,notes, caller ID, and all levels of menu. Verizon Wireless
has partnered with Nuance on a CDMA software download. The first device that
will be compatible with TALKS is the Motorola Q9c. It will allow the user to
control volume and the rate of speed. It will remain silent if used in
conjunction with VZ Navigator or any other device voice command function.
The cost is $249 with online $70 rebate. If you need more info please
contact me.

Have a good day Susan Day
