Re: What is a good flip phone to buy?

Yes, you can hear every character, but you still, for some reason, can make
mistakes. My phone I had before this would allow me to left and right
arrow and hear spoken characters. But that was one of the first
screenreaders in a phone; it was mobile speak, so it was made for the blind, and
it was an extra addon that had to be purchased,not just something made so a
company can say it was upholding the law. Pam.

type a key. You can't read a line by left and right arrowing anywhere and
that was true of my first feature phone and the current one. But hearing
every character spoken you input it eliminates the problem of not knowing if you
made an error.

put contacts in, you can’t left and right arrow and have it speak through the
name or the number to make sure that you did it correctly, or, if you did make a
mistake, to find out where you are in order to correct the mistake. It
will just read the whole line by arrowing up and down. Pam.

Subject: Re: [TechTalk] What is a good flip phone to
buy? I read a very little about it. I think it is
similar to the Alcotel Go Flip 3.
I don't know what differences there may be. I
would suggest going over the phone with a sighted person, because, though I can
tell you about the Go Flip3, if a procedure doesn't apply, you may not be able
to do it without help in seeing how it is done.
Speech is turned on on the Go Flip3 by opening
settings, opening accessibility and turning on Readout. You may well
benefit from listening to my presentation to be given on the Go Flip 3 if the
phone requires the same or similar work arounds for incomplete
accessibility. It might appear, for example, that contacts can't be used
on the Go Flip3, but with the right workarounds, they can.
