Please put on your calendar the upcoming VetTech Weekly Webinar next Wednesday, August 27, at 3:00pm Eastern Time, as attendees focus their attention on the Blindshell Class 3 Mobile Phone for the Blind.

The BlindShell Classic 3 isn’t just another phone, but a lifeline of independence for people who are blind or visually impaired. By combining the simplicity of large tactile buttons with powerful voice control and accessibility features, it makes communication, daily tasks, and entertainment easy and intuitive. With many built-in and 3rd party apps, like Aira for visual interpreting and BARD for accessible books, it also includes:

• Luna– the built-in voice assistant that lets you control the phone with spoken commands, ask questions, open apps, send messages, manage contacts, and more.
• Observo – an AI feature that uses the camera to describe photos and scenes, helping users understand images of people, objects, or surroundings.
• Tandem– a remote-assistance app that allows family, friends, or support staff to connect and help operate the BlindShell phone from their own device.

Together with dedicated emergency support and a long-lasting battery, the BlindShell Classic 3 delivers freedom and confidence without the complexity of a mainstream touchscreen phone—making it the perfect blend of usability and modern technology.

The VetTech Weekly Webinars are open to all interested parties although regular attendees are typically blind and low vision veterans and non-veterans, family members, caregivers, or blind rehabilitation specialists. Membership in the Blinded Veterans Association or attendance at previous sessions are not prerequisites to join VetTech meetings and new participants are always welcome.
