When held to your throat while talking on the phone, the electronic larnyx will reproduce the sound of your voice. As people age, they often find it harder to move around. They may move more slowly, or it may be difficult or painful to walk. Simply getting up to answer the phone can be a dreaded chore. A remote control button allows you to answer the speaker phone from a short distance or to summon emergency help if needed.
Voice recognition is another feature useful for persons with mobility impairments.
This feature works by programming simple voice commands into the phone. Remote speakerphones can be answered from across the room. The voice print phone recognizes your voice commands and performs the desired function. You can store calls until you are near the phone, and you can screen nuisance calls. Cordless phones are light and portable, so you do not need to get up to answer the phone.
