Fred’s Head blog just posted about Sight-Free Dialing with the iPhone. This caught my attention and brought me to the iHear Dialer app from KayZee Solutions. This is a great new accessibility app for the iPhone.
iHear Dialer allows you to dial phone numbers without looking at the keypad. As you move your hand around on the keypad, the dialer will tell you what number your finger is on and when you want that number, just release your finger!
It was created with blind and visually impaired users in mind, but it’s also great for anyone to dial a number without looking. It attempts to increase the accessibility of the iPhone.
iHear Dialer not only allows users to dial phone numbers without looking at the keypad, but has several other good features. There are two voices, male and female. The app remembers the last half dozen numbers dialed. All in one easy package and all for $0.99.
As I only have the Touch, I can’t evaluate this app personally. Fortunately, there is an online video demonstration.

iHear Dialer is available on iTunes and on the App Store.
