Accessibility of Nokia devices

Accessibility is about making Nokia devices and services usable and accessible to the greatest possible number of people, including customers with disabilities. We have been working on accessibility concerns for more than ten years, and by the end of 2008 we continued to offer more than 60 device features or applications aimed at providing greater accessibility for people with limitations in hearing, speech, vision, mobility and cognition. We work together with representatives from disability organizations, regulators and academia to discuss accessibility priorities and development. During 2008, we offered new functionality for accessibility, including:

• A wireless bluetooth loopset LPS5, for connecting a mobile phone or other audio device with t-coil equipped hearing aids;
• Improved video call functionality to support online calls using sign language; and
• Support for Hands Free Adapter with a mobility switch that allows users to activate all the voice activated features of a Nokia device.

Nokia Forum third-party developers have also introduced voice feedback, optical scanning and supportive services to the mobile devices that complement the Nokia offering addressing sensorial and physical challenges in mobile communications.
