A Special Phone has been featured on MacWorld, AppCraver and NeoSeeker.

A Special Phone is the world first calling app that target people with special needs especially visually impaired ones.
A demo video showing the Eyes-free adaptive keypad in action has been released on youtube.

Eyes-free adaptive keypad:
You can simply touch your finger anywhere on the screen, and the application will tell you which number you are touching. When you find the number that you would like to use, you simply tap in it's place and it will dial that number! If you do not need eyes free dialing, you can use the keypad just as it is and tap away at the number just like the basic iPhone dialing application.

As you tap the numbers in both "eyes free" mode or regular mode, the application will speak the number and show a much larger number on the screen for those who can see, but are best off with larger images and numbers. Those who need vision correction as well as the eldery will greatly benefit from this great new feature.

Speed Dialing:
You can create up to 6 quick dial contacts. Simply open the application for the intial app setup, choose your most used contacts from your contact list, and you are all set! You can even choose which contact gets a certain number of shakes to dial!
