1 07/2015 Accessible devices for people with a motor impairment

2 Tested devices The selected devices have been tested by an independent panel of people with a disability, coordinated by the non-profit association Passe-Muraille. This evaluation is based on predefined accessibility criteria taking into account the specific needs of the majority of people belonging to the same disability category. We therefore do not guarantee that these devices can be optimally used by all people recognized as belonging to the disability category concerned. This catalog will be updated regularly.

3 Advantages of the devices We recommend these phones to people with a motor impairment because of their shape. They do not require any pinching, twisting or rotating of the wrist to operate. They offer the possibility of "hands-free" use, It is important to note that all the devices running Android Ice Cream Sandwich have: an accessibility menu as standard an advanced voice synthesis and voice command system for calling, texting, etc. Voice synthesis is available in French and English as standard. For Dutch, the appropriate module must be downloaded: SVOX LENA DUTCH. a practical screen reader that can be used directly for calling, texting, etc., but not for reading web pages or with certain incompatible applications a blockable drop-down menu: this enables better scrolling control It should be noted that the most recent, and the most complete, versions of the Android OS integrate the configuration of the accessibility menu when the device is switched on for the first time.
