11:00 am: Hands-On With Two New Accessible Phones


Jan 24

Adaptations is hosting an event in which participants will get an in-depth look at the RealSam Pocket and the BlindShell Classic 2, two uniquely different mobile phone offerings designed for those who are blind or have low vision.

Bari Azmann and his team from BlindShell USA, and Anat Nulman of Realthing.ai will present their devices, answer questions, and offer those interested, a chance to try both devices first hand to see if they might be an appropriate fit. Packed with apps and gaining new features all the time, BlindShell Classic 2 is a phone containing buttons with spoken feedback.RealSAM Pocket, on the other hand, is a phone operated exclusively by voice. It really is as easy as touch and talk.

Join us as we dive in and learn about what’s new with these devices in 2023!
