Doro Magna 2005 Extra Loud Cordless Phone

Product Information

With Doro Magna 2005 you can enjoy a large button phone that’s not only among the loudest but also features a sleek, modern design. Braille can also be produced on a computer using translation software and a Braille embosser instead of a printer. How much bigger you see the item will also depend on the distance you and the magnifier are from the object you are looking at.

Alternatively you can ‘top-up’ paying extra for an item that does what the specific item prescribed would do, but offers extra features or perhaps you prefer its appearance. The Braille dots are used to represent words and numbers, punctuation characters and even mathematics, science and music notation. There is also software which can be added to certain mobile phones to give them a reading aid function. You can adjust tone as well as voice and ringer volume to suit your individual needs with five separate levels to choose from.Another function that some models have is the ability to connect to a Braille display to give Braille output of the scanned text. Sometimes smaller items of daily living equipment may be provided by a social worker at your local authority who deals with sensory impairments. In past years I have reviewed a number of Doro phones for both house and their specialist mobile phones for those with sight and hearing problems.

Brailler displays are tactile devices that are usually placed in front of your computer keyboard providing you with the means to read the contents of your computer screen by touch in Braille. If a child has a disability and is under the age of 18 and still at school, access to funding for equipment may be available if he/she has a statement of special educational needs. If you are partially sighted, and have some usable sight, it is worth asking your GP or hospital consultant for an assessment at a low vision clinic.Braille requires a fine sense of touch - some individuals with conditions such as diabetes, who have reduced finger sensitivity, may find using Braille difficult. Additional features include flashing ringer, extra volume boost button, hearing aid compatibility and tone control for clear sound adjustable to your hearing needs. Doro Magna 2005 is an amplified cordless phone with answer machine that looks as it good as it sounds.

It offers a range of newspaper and magazine titles in a variety of accessible formats, including audio CD or USB, DAISY CD, Braille, large print and online.Many local authorities apply eligibility criteria for equipment provision, including assistive technology such as communication equipment.

Traditional frames create a dot on the reverse side of the paper so the Braille has to be written back to front. It may help if other function keys, such as memory keys are separated from and/or shaped differently to the number keys. It is designed to pay for the additional cost of aids and adaptations needed because of your disability. As Moon is not so well known it is rarely offered as an alternative format for items such as statements, bills and menus.It is wise to consult the instruction manual for your particular telephone to identify how to access this facility. The base unit is also an answering machine on the Doro Magna 2005 its footprint including the base is 12x18x5.
