| |
London, UK (Computer Weekly): New mobile phone speech software is likely to improve the working lives of many blind and visually impaired users, giving them access to SMS, e-mail, Wap services, contact lists and other mobile applications.
ScanSoft's Talks software can alert the user to e-mail, text messages and incoming calls, and turn menus, instructions and content displayed on the mobile phone screen into speech.
Vodafone will be the first operator to make the Talks software available on its mobile phones. Orange in France and Telecom Italia will also offer packages based on the software. The main UK distributor will be the Royal National Institute of the Blind.
