Mitch Pomerantz, President of the American Council of the Blind commented, "I am pleased that AT&T will be offering AT&T Mobile Accessibility Lite to AT&T Android users who are blind or have low vision.
The Music Player app, unique to AT&T Mobile Accessibility Lite, automatically lists all the music files that are installed on the memory card of the phone and sorts them by Artists and Albums. Other features include speech recognition, allowing customers to use their voice to write text and email messages quickly and easily.
The Nuance Vocalizer® voice synthesis then reads the text under their finger, allowing customers to perform any number of tasks, such as answering a call, managing their contacts, writing an SMS, editing a calendar entry, sending an email, or accessing GPS to get an update on their current location.
From within the suite, they can then easily navigate among any of the 11 featured apps just by moving their finger across the screen. Once a customer downloads Mobile Accessibility Lite to their Android smartphone, they have the option of making the suite the device's home screen. Each is designed to be intuitive and easy to use for the blind and visually impaired customer.
