mobile phone for visually impaired ?

[outlaw]

a friend of mine's visually impaired , is there a phone that says what key is pressed ?? for eg ... like saying the numbers out loud while dialling .. or what menu button is pressed .. ???

i used to have a moto rokr touch that had the feature and it used to tell what key was pressed ... but using touch screen is not an option for my friend ...

is there a phone that's got these features ???

i think what you can do is buy a normal phone and download an application that will help the visually impaired. there must be an application like that.

dont really know of any phone but E63 (or most symbian phone) have very Good Text to speech capability . You can Call numbers and dial and run most applications with only voice prompts . It Can also read aloud text messages and email . Plus there are few Apps i see ad for in Ovi Store that does Text to speech for messaging so you can send message without actually touching phone .
