Synapptic has been designed to work on Android smartphones and tablets, which are light and portable so you can carry them around easily in your pocket or bag.
Packed with useful features - such as a digital hand-held magnifier, speech on every screen, voice recognition, email, internet and a reading machine – so that you only need one device for all your everyday tasks.
In-built speech and magnification mean you can use Synapptic whatever your level of sight loss and, if your sight changes, it can evolve with you.
Synapptic is so intuitive to use that even if you're new to technology or lack confidence, it's easy to get started with its clear and simple menus.
You can even change the colours, menu layouts, magnification levels and speech options to make navigation easier for you. Our unique Touch & Release® touchscreen control means you can move your finger up and down each menu option and it will be read out, until you stop on the option you want to use. It's as simple as that!
And in-built voice recognition means it's easy to complete tasks, even if you're not confident at using the keyboard. Simply say what you want typed into an email, a text or to search in the internet browser and it will appear and be read out on the screen.
A help button on every screen means you can access instant help documents and videos for that particular screen, ensuring you'll never get lost or be stuck for too long.
Our unique in-built Lifeline® support feature means you're only ever 3 taps away from accessing our remote support service.
This means that whatever screen you're on, we can access your phone remotely and provide technical support wherever you are.
Because the handheld video magnifier allows you to enlarge text or any object up to around 20 times, it's ideal for magnifying menus, timetables or food labels, even when you're out and about.
Our unique Tab & Jump® internet browser makes it easy to do your own online shopping, banking, or access information anytime, anywhere.
Using the reading machine makes it easy to translate any text into speech, including letters, post and instructions.
And our in-built Voice Control option makes it simple to control many of the features of your phone with just your voice. Select menus, dial numbers, write text messages and even compose emails, so that you can manage everyday tasks quickly and easily.
Keep in touch and share news with your friends and family through calls, emails, texts, voice messages and free Skype calls for friends and family living abroad. Our step-by-step menus mean you'll find communicating easier than ever before.
Easy access to social media services like Facebook and Twitter means that you can share all those special experiences with your closest friends and family.

I was not a mobile phone user previously but now use it for calls, sending e-mails and texts. Also, I frequently use YouTube, Internet radio and talking books! Although I have a little sight, I feel I could use it without any sight.
Your Synapptic devices are the best things I have used in the ten years I have been blind. Thanks to the above, I was awarded a Blind Veterans UK Founder's Day Award for I T training earlier this year.
I have been using my Synapptic phone for a couple of months now and I love it. Synapptic software has opened up a whole new world to me. I am now even exploring taking photos with the camera. Just think - 6 months ago I could not even do text messages let alone think about attaching photos! I hope everyone else is getting as much pleasure from their Synapptic phone as I am.
If I did not have my Synapptic tablet, I would be lost without it. I can keep in touch with all my friends on email and Facebook. The speech recognition is the icing on the cake – wonderful!
Synapptic gives the user the very best opportunity to feel part of - and contribute to - the modern world, despite any level of sight loss.
