As the latest addition to Sprint’s product portfolio designed to ensure accessibility for all, Kyocera Verve features expanded text-to-speech capabilities for menus, messaging, Web browsing, contacts, notifications and more. According to the National Federation of the Blind, more than 6.5 million people reported a visual disability in 2011.3 Other accessibility features include high-contrast user-interface options and large menu fonts to accommodate a variety of vision ranges, dedicated In Case of Emergency (ICE) and 911 shortcuts, and tactile numeric and QWERTY keyboards with well-defined buttons.
“With updated voice translation and text-to-speech features, we're excited to offer the Kyocera Verve as an easy-to-use feature phone, that won’t require an additional data plan, for both prepaid and postpaid customers,” said Eric Anderson, senior vice president and general manager of global sales and marketing at Kyocera Communications. “The traditional QWERTY keypad still has a strong following and we’ll continue to support those consumers looking for affordable and simple, yet stylish devices.”
Kyocera Verve brings customers a CDMA2000® 1X-Advanced slider phone featuring a 2.4-inch TN-TFT QVGA display. Capturing quick snapshots is easy with Verve's 2-megapixel camera with 2x zoom and dedicated function key. Calls can be taken over Bluetooth® wireless technology (2.1 with Enhanced Data Rate), via the 3.5mm headset jack or through the speakerphone with dedicated function key.
