Re: Mobile phone accessibility-thing question

I think it depends on what type of phone people think he has. Don't know if iPhone has a "talk to call" function, though I've seen it on other phones. With iPhone, VoiceOver would speak to him which buttons he's touching, and I'm pretty sure there are specific swipe motions for calling once he's chosen which contact he wants. VoiceOver and Speak Screen also work for typing text messages/e-mails or reading back things to him on screen. There's also regular dictation for sending text messages (where you speak to the phone and it writes what you say).

Everyone probably knows this already, but I'll say the "voice-to-text" diction program for the iphone is pretty obviously a learning software that uses your history + predictive text, so...

I've owned my phone for a year, so I trust it to get my voice-to-text messages right 90% of the time, but a brand-new iphone? Or somebody else's phone? different experiences.

In my mind, Matt uses a mixture of touch/swipe and voice commands when he operates his phone. I don't think we've ever seen him use his smartphone to call someone, but he answers Foggy's call at the beginning of the first episode. And he kinda taps and swipes the phone in order to do it.

I'm fairly sure Matt's phone isn't an iPhone. It looks like an Android phone, if anything. I wish I could read what it says on the back, because you can see it in episode 10 when Karen calls Matt who's half dead on the couch and fighting with Foggy: http://s3.postimg.org/4gqrrwydv/VLC_2015_07_16_20h30m42s106.jpg

Maybe someone else can tell what model that is...

Same anon again. There's a better screencap for Matt's smartphone here: http://www.kissthemgoodbye.net/tvshows/albums/Daredevil/Season%201/Episode%2010%20Nelson%20v%20Murdock/Daredevil_S01E10_kissthemgoodbye_net_mkv_000456539.jpg

It's a Samsung Galaxy S5, so it's definitely an Android phone. I have the S6, which I assume is similar. So if you have specific questions, I could try to answer them for you (although I'm not blind).

Also, there are custom keyboards and apps that can help with voice recognition and might be better than the built-in stuff. I use the Swype keyboard for my phone, which is automatically partnered with Dragon Naturally Speaking. Dragon is said to be one of the best voice recognition softwares out there. I can totally see Matt spending a few bucks on getting an app that is more accurate than the generic phone capabilities.

It's a StarkPhone, obviously. ;p
