Because it’s entirely voice-operated, Pocket can be used without learning gestures or a need to see the screen. Simply tap the screen and use natural language to ask for what you want, for example “find books by Agatha Christie”, “call Daniel”, or “add a contact”.

Pocket is multi-functional – use it for hands-free calling and texting, entertainment, and for dedicated assistance tools, such as reading printed or handwritten text aloud.

Pocket gives you access to thousands of audiobooks, and talking newspapers and magazines via RNIB Library and RNIB Newsagent. You can also use it to listen to your favourite podcasts.

Other features include: set voice reminders for appointments or tasks; get directions or weather updates; video magnifier; use Be My Eyes.

Pocket uses a nano-SIM card for calls and texts, and requires mobile data or wi-fi to operate. Please note, you are purchasing the handset only, not a phone contract.

Pocket comes with unlimited customer support from the UK-based RealSAM team (9am-5.30pm, Monday to Friday).
