New Eyes Free Phone


EyesFree is a new phone which will truly mesmerize you. It will tempt with at its first glimpse. EyesFree, is a new interface for Google's Android mobile phone operating system. It consists of a touch sensitive screen which allows users to use the phone without even looking at it. Thus people who are have a weak eye-sight or are blind can utilize this phone in their daily life.
This easy to use EyesFree, mobile phone works in a very easy manner. Whichever part you touch on the screen acts as number 5, move your finger upwards and left and you’ll have 1. Similarly as you slide your finger down you will get 8.
Typed the wrong number? Just shake the phone and delete the undesired part. In alpha mode, your finger is surrounded by letters instead. You get spoken feedback for each selection.
"This phone has been made for people with physical problems which make it hard for them to use phones with very small keys. EyesFree was developed by TV Raman, a blind research scientist at Google in Mountain View, California, and his colleague Charles Chen. It will be included in the next version (1.6) of the Android development kit, which also includes a text-to-speech engine and accessibility APIs (applications program interfaces). It's up to the carriers to ship it, but users can download it from the Android marketplace, and developers can get the source code from code.google.com."
