SAKSHAM TALKING MOBILE
PHONE FOR THE BLIND
Saksham, after bringing the mobile screen reading software within reach
of
the visually impaired in India is now launching this limited scheme for
extending the benefits of accessible mobile phone to those for whom it is
still a dream. There are very limited number of handsets as of now and
there fore, this should be seen as one time offer for just a few lucky
ones.
Due to the limited number of handsets available, only Students of higher
education or persons working in NGOs may apply and that also only from
the
Delhi NCR Region. We hope to work out schemes in future of larger scale.
Saksham had started the revolution in the field of talking mobile phones
for
the blind in India by offering the TALKS mobile screen reading software
at
one third of its international cost in India in the year 2006. This
initiative allowed hundreds of blind persons to take advantage of this
great
empowering technology. Blind persons were now able to use the mobile
phone
for all its functions read & write SMS, maintain address book, reminders,
calendar & even listen to talking books. Saksham initiative resulted in a
massive price reduction of the other screen reading software for mobile
phones thereby bringing this great tool within reach of many more.
Even after achieving such great reduction in prices of talking softwares
for
the mobile phones the cost of owning this great tool stands at a minimum
of
Rs. 10000 which is beyond the reach of majority of visually impaired
persons. This has been a great concern for Saksham & therefore this
scheme
has been launched.
Under this scheme, a limited number of Nokia 3230 mobile phones loaded
with
the Talks screen reading software will be provided at nominal prices to
visually impaired persons who due to limited income have not been able to
afford this technology as yet.
New Nokia 3230 with Talks (full version): Rs. 4000 only
New Nokia 3230 with Talks (demo version): Rs. 2000 only
