Abstract

A telephone for use by a visually impaired person comprises a control pad (10) including buttons (18) which are of large size and are visually contrasting compared to the background from which they project. Each button carries a tactile character thereon which is visually distinguished from the surrounding area and/or a braille identifier. A speech device which is arranged to output clear, 'real' speech is incorporated into the telephone. The telephone is also arranged for the speech device to repeat individual numbers depressed and/or the sequence of numbers inputted so that the visually impaired person can check that the correct numbers have been inputted. Once the desired number has been correctly inputted, it can be dialled by pressing send button (12) which connects the telephone to the network and dials the number. A handset (8) of the device may be provided in at least two visually contrasting colours so that it can be easily identified. Any type of telephone or other device may incorporate a control means as described.
