Large button VOIP phone wanted
A partially-sighted user needs a large button phone that will work with a Cisco VOIP system, and have all the functionality offered by the phone system. He has extremely limited vision, and currently uses a BT Big Button phone, but this apparently does not allow the transfer of calls etc.
All of the IP phones currently available for use have very small buttons, and functionality based on a small electronic display that he cannot see. A softphone (Cisco IP Communicator) was tried, but this does not work very well with Zoomtext (14x magnification), as the image is grainy and unclear when magnified, and by the time he has navigated around the screen to dial the number the call has timed out.
Is there anything currently available that may be suitable, or any modifications which could be made on the existing Cisco system that might improve matters? The user is registered blind and maybe it would be better to look for a solution that would suit someone with no sight. Anything based on touch (eg, braille) is excluded however, owing to a diabetes related touch sensitivity impairment. Perhaps a speech-based solution if there is one? Any suggestions gratefully received.
