SouthernLINC Wireless, an Atlanta, U.S.A. based company announced that it is offering ‘Enhancements for the Visually Impaired’ (E.V.I) software for Motorola's i355 phone.

The software includes Text-to-Speech (T.T.S) output. As the user scrolls through the handset's phone book playback of names, numbers and contact types occur. It also plays back the word "calling" as the user makes a call and reads off information such as signal strength, battery level, date and time.

The company also has four hearing-aid compatible phones: the i760, i836, i870 and i850. Each phone complements telephone-compatible hearing aids.

Bob Dawson, SouthernLINC Wireless President and C.E.O. said "We are extremely pleased to be able to offer software for our customers who are visually impaired."
