Success story
Blanka is a 65 years-old blind woman, and she had no previous experience with a touch phone so far. She had been using a traditional phone equipped with a physical keyboard. When her phone broke, it was impossible to get new one of a similar type. Finally, she decided to go to the special accessory shop on the premises of Czech Blind Union. She tried BlindShell, and after a brief training session she concluded that BlindShell is the perfect solution for her needs. That same day she sent several SMSes to her son and called to her friends.
