There is another alternative, However I don't know how easy it would be for you to get.
The RNIB (Royal National Institute of Blind people) here in the UK sell talking phones with buttons. I have only seen it since I work for the organisation but this simple phone will let you write texts and other things. This phone is primarily for elderly and those who do not want to use a smart phone because elderly people are scared of technology. The phone has a good clear voice. Talks is being sold still on Nokias if you wanted to go down that route. Kawal.
