if hes a blind, how does he surf to this website? it is possible? is he really blind, or is he testing a tool for the blind?

cool. blind people can use internet too. never knew it. and my father had the cheek to say a computer is hard to use

is there any phone which allow speech to text?

[rlumley2000]

Yes, there are two screen readers for mobile phones that I know of. one is talks on the scansoft website and the other is mobile speak on the codefactory website.


They both work on series 60 symbian phones though, mobile speak is working ona version for pocket pc though.
