This software provides unparalleled accessibility to the powerful functionality and data management features of mobile phones, heretofore inaccessible to those who are visually impaired.  When Mobile Speak is installed on a compatible cell phone, it converts text into crisp, easy to understand speech using the globally acclaimed Eloquence text to speech engine. The speech is heard through the phone’s internal speaker or Bluetooth headphones. Instead of spending thousands of dollars for proprietary note takers or several mobile devices, each performing a separate task, blind people can do exactly what their sighted counterparts have been doing for some time:  Buy and carry one single, sleek device to handle multiple communications and data management functions. 

With Mobile Speak, Eloquence speaks aloud for you nearly every single function displayed visually on the screen. 

The Nokia series of Smartphones are packed with powerful features and functionality, and virtually all of those features are easily accessed by blind or sighted users. With a five-way joystick and two control keys, you can cycle through the comprehensive menus, easily making selections with a click of a joystick.

This ultra-sleek, compact phone is more than user friendly; it defines what blind people have been waiting for in a mobile solution. Below is a sample of some of the features provided with the Nokia phones.
