Some said this might discourage new buyers to move on to touch screens but I feel the other way. If we are able to find solution for this, this would indeed add value for those who are considering to move on to the touch. Now coming to the issue, Mohib: I can use my iPhone effectively for calling and/dialing in any sort of environment with one hand but some times find problems in crowded places while typing long messages/emails but can manage for short messages. Depending on the environment, I use different solutions like using voice input or earphones. However, given the fact that we also need to depend on the sound clues while walking, using an earphone may some time lead to some undesirable consequence so would not suggest to use it while walking and that too, when walking with a cane. So, I generally prefer to avoid typing long messages/emails while on the move and preffer to do this once settled down unless it is very urgent. For calling, one can use Favorites in iPhone to add some frequently called contacts for easy access while on the go.

Bluetooth may be one among the options before us to consider. We can access basic features using blue tooth in android mobiles. Moreover, we can create some short cuts for important numbers in the home page.

If my both hands are free, I can fully enjoy the touch phone. When compare to keypad phones, Finding items, using apps, scroling are more more easier than keypad phones. We have to press arrow keys many times to find an item from the list, but this is not the case in touch screen. If we know the position of the desired item, we can directly go to that areaa. Using headphone is good idea in a crowded area. For dialing with one hand, headphone is not a solution. because we have to use both hands to connect headset. if then we can dial by holding in one hand and touch with other hand, no need headset. For one hand dialing, I have recently updated DW dialer to get the latest feature i.e, dialing when lifting the finger. This is the feature I was waiting for. Now, I can dial numbers more efficiently with one hand. But when swiping through the keypad, unwanted numbers also get typed which is irritating. Most of us using Android 4.2 and above version, so they may not have such problems with the default dialer. But I am having 4.1 version. -Original Message- From: Satguru Rathi Sent: Monday, July 28, 2014 11:08 AM To: Dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobilephonesand Tabs.

Hi all, After reading so many mails on the subject, I firstly fail to understand that why some of the so-called champians who have mastered over touch screen feel that everybody is going to learn this in similar manner? this thread nowhere had any intention to criticize or praze any of the platform but its intent was to find solution for a very genuin issue with touch phones.

Suppose, if I am waiting for someone at railway station or at some busy streat, first of all I have to hold the phone with both hands, then have to swipe number of times to get the contact of person to whom I want to call. It seems very difficult specially when I am holding some luggage etc in my hand. Even to dial the number you have to find out the digit at the screen, than lift
