The need for a blind person to be in touch with their family, friends and acquaintances seems to be unquestioned. This need became especially urgent for the blind from Ukraine, during the military aggression by Russia. But how can a blind person dial a number? How to find it in the notebook? How to blindly type an SMS or, moreover, read it? For example, about the air raid alert and the need to go to the shelter. Or ask for help during the shelling.
A specialized push-button telephone for blind users from Ukraine is especially needed during the war in Ukraine. The need for a blind person to be in touch with their family, friends and acquaintances seems to be unquestioned. This need became especially urgent for the blind from Ukraine, during the military aggression by Russia. How to blindly type an SMS or, moreover, read it? For example, about the air raid alert and the need to go to the shelter. Or ask for help during the shelling.
A team of Ukrainian specialists set the task to adapt the software of a push-button smartphone for blind people based on the AGM M7 budget shockproof and waterproof smartphone, to make this smartphone as comfortable as possible for blind users to use with voice synthesizers in Ukrainian and English.
In addition, modern active blind people want and can use the full potential of modern means of communication to solve everyday problems at work, study and at home. For many, the mobile phone has long ceased to be a phone in the first place. The possibilities of the Internet, instant messengers, e-mail exchange, and work with financial applications are much more often used. The project is aimed also at the elderly and people with movement disorders, hand injuries.
