If you have been searching everywhere for an easy-to-use talking phone that meets your basic needs, look no further! The MiniVision2+ mobile phone features audio voice guidance and large, high contrast, tactile buttons so you can navigate your new phone with ease. Making calls and sending text messages to your loved ones just got a whole lot easier with voice commands. The MiniVision2+ is an unlocked 4G phone.
Phone calls
Make and receive phone calls using the talking keypad or voice commands. There is also a caller ID announcement for incoming calls. Programme your most dialled numbers into speed dial for ease of access as and when you need them.
Voice guide
MiniVision2+ will speak everything on the screen and everything you press, providing complete independence and accessibility. It will also speak items like caller ID and battery level. Multiple languages and voices are available to choose from, making your phone even more personal to you.
Contacts
Add and edit your contacts independently by navigating through the talking menus. Your contacts information will be read aloud as you scroll through the menu.
Voice commands
Place phone calls, send text messages, add contacts, or record notes using voice commands.
Easy-to-see, ergonomic keypad
The ergonomic keyboard is designed to be intuitive to use, with large, black buttons that are well-spaced and contrast with the white case. Numbers and text on the buttons are bold and white. The OK button is a textured to make it easy to identify; and the five key, power button, and call button each have prominent bumps.
SOS button
A dedicated SOS button on the back of the phone triggers a call to emergency contacts, meaning help is never far from reach should you need it!
Text messages
Send and receive messages using the talking keypad or by voice command. Incoming messages can also be read aloud.
Customisation of the display
The screen display can be customised to show text or icons. You can choose from four text sizes, five fonts, and six colour contrasts, as well as the option of a bold display, and choice of text scrolling speed and delay.
