Or, if you’d like to purchase, contact, Debbie with the Orbit Training Center for the Blind, 417-423-6385. The BlindShell was created as “the world’s best all-in-one accessible cell phone that provides greater independence, freedom to express, and the ability to communicate the way you desire.” It has a tactile keypad, a larger screen with more information displayed for easier reading, and enhanced voice control functionality. If you have a visual impairment or other disabilities that make operating a standard smartphone or cell phone difficult, the BlindShell may just be the phone for you.
