Excellent!!! How is it that I've never heard of this phone until now? I have been avoiding smart phones forever. this might be an answer to my prayers. thanks Sam. You just got a new subscriber.
Very cool Sam, my favorite part is how you get the "I Listen after a beep' notification, and the vibration you get when dictating to let you know it's transcribed what you've said.
There is someone I want to help in the Dominican Republic who's blind. She only speaks Spanish, would this work? Or are there other similar tools that could work to help her in similar ways?
Hi Sam, My elderly Mum is blind but also a diabetic and requires insulin 2 times a day, we are looking at getting the freestyle libre sensors for her and wanted ot know if this phone has NFC on it
Hi. thanks for your videos. I am new to Android. I got a moto G 22 and I haven't been able to find a voice memo recorder for it. Can you tell me of any you know? thanks!
Thanks for video. Will it show the book text as well as read to you? I use both visual and text to speech to read. And do you or anyone who has this phone know if it can work with a cochlear imlplant. stream to it. I am Deaf and visually imp. and really trying everything to be able to continue to read. both senses are not very good so I use both to compliment each other and would like to read and listen to books without it blasting (I need the volume up all the way to hear) so hoping it can stream to cochlear. Thanks for any info!
Hey Sam. I’m trying to find a video on your page but I can’t find it it’s the video with you and Kayla with the city I’m asking each other questions. I can’t seem to find that video
Actually I haven’t done a video with Kayla yet. Derek Daniel did one with her asking each other questions. Maybe you’re thinking of the one I did with Cassie from the TH-cam channel on the fritz. That video is on her channel.
@@theblindlife Thank You for the information about the mobile hotspot. I have Simple Mobile service however T-Mobile is the APN default. How do I change the APN to the Simple Mobile default ?
I think simple mobile is just a smaller network that uses T-Mobile‘s network towers. So you may not be able to change it to a simple mobile APN, or there may not be a simple mobile APN. Either way, I’m not really sure, you may need to contact them and check.
I am setting up the phone for my elderly blind mother so she can use voice control for phone calling. When I test this out with my voice, to see how it works, the audio of the phone dialing is very hard to hear even though I have a phone volume set at 8 - the loudest setting. How can I remedy this?
I have been uusiong a blindshell phone for a few months. I hate it because it tells me the time and date, sometimes over and over instead of going to the next mode etc instead of doing what I want it to do. Sometimes I have to try as many as 10 times to get it to do what it is supposed to do.
Have you contacted blind shell or the place where you purchased the phone? It should still be under warranty so if something is going wrong, that’s the first thing you should do.
Can you get it with a Clint Eastwood voice? "Your message was sent ...... Punk" "The time is 8:00 .... Get off my Lawn" I think that would be beyond cool.
Your videos are frustrating as fuck bro! HOW do you actually initiate these features? You just show how they are but not how to start them. We bought the phone but can’t operate it.

Yes, I like that too. Makes it very easy to dictate your message!
Love the videos Sam. You have some great info and I will watch them all so keep them coming.
Voice control and voice commands and voice dictation all work good together with accessibility for the Blind and Visually Impaired
Thank you bro.Getting this for my mom because you explained it so well
Definitely get the Classic 2 version. It’s the latest Version with updated hardware and features.
Awesome video!! This seems really intriguing!!

Hey Sam another awesome video. Getting a little tongue tide there buddy? lol
Hi Sam, My elderly Mum is blind but also a diabetic and requires insulin 2 times a day, we are looking at getting the freestyle libre sensors for her and wanted ot know if this phone has NFC on it
The latest version of this phone does have NFC. It’s called the Blind shell classic 2.
Hi. thanks for your videos. I am new to Android. I got a moto G 22 and I haven't been able to find a voice memo recorder for it. Can you tell me of any you know? thanks!

Are there any accessories for the Blindshell? Like a case or lanyard?
Yes, you can purchase a leather case which comes in red or black. The phone also comes with headphones and a charging cradle.

@@theblindlife thanks Sam. I finally found the the video and yes it was with Derek. I guess I just got the two videos mixed up. Thank you
Hey Sam!!! I have the Classic Blindshell phone and I want to know can you use this phone as a hotspot if so how do you set it up for others to use ?
Hey there, no, the phone does not support Wi-Fi hotspots.

Hey, sub here from the Philippines. Which operating system does that phone runs on? The TTS I guess is Google TTS. Is it an android?
The operating system is built on android but you never get into the android system. It’s a completely self-contained user experience.

I’d recommend contacting the place you purchase the phone from to get their help with this problem.

impractical if you can't find the buttons. You're looking at the buttons needed to push. I will continue to search for the phone I'm needing.
How motch Sir?
The retail price is $349.
📱 Thank You!
and Congratz .. you need to hit up EJ on Everything Blind
Neil Visually Impaired so true
Can you get it with a Clint Eastwood voice? "Your message was sent ...... Punk" "The time is 8:00 .... Get off my Lawn" I think that would be beyond cool.
LOL you’re right, that would be cool! I might need to talk with the engineers!
Which carriers in the U.S. will provide service for this phone?
It’s unlocked on all GSM networks. This includes AT&T, T-Mobile, and the smaller prepaid networks with use GSM towers.
can you simply ask, "Do I have any phone calls or text messages?" or
"turn on dictation"
No, it doesn’t have that functionality. But it’s very easy to check your recent notifications
it is gsm only. Kind of pointless to buy then.
Hey Sam I just wanted to let you know that I sent you an email under your Gmail. Let's just say the email is important.
