Rogers has just announced a new version of the E71 that is loaded with software specifically for helping out people with vision loss. The talks software by Nuace translates the whole operating system into speech, so even those who can’t make out what’s on the screen can get around. Voice calling, document editing, book reading, are also impressively supported. You can nab the new talks-enabled E71 from Rogers for $99.99 on contract, or read up on the program at Nuance.
