Over the last few years, we have witnessed incredible advancements in technology designed to aid those with visual impairments. Two companies, in particular, have stood out: BlindShell, a pioneer in assistive technology communication, and Pneuma Solutions, the current developers of Sero, the world’s most comprehensive and easy-to-navigate social network and multimedia repository for the blind.

Now, in an exciting development, the Blindshell Classic 2 Collection of accessible cell phones will integrate the Sero platform, creating an even better, user-friendly experience specifically for the visually impaired. Let’s dive in and explore what this collaboration signifies for users.

The Blindshell Classic 2 has been praised for its tactile, physical keyboard, an intuitive voice control system, menu driven navigation, an SOS button for emergencies, and so much more… With the integration of Sero, the BlindShell Classic 2 becomes a comprehensive tool for the visually impaired to navigate their digital lives seamlessly.

Sero users on the Blindshell Classic 2 can effortlessly enjoy streaming radio reading services, thousands of hours of audio content, access to local, state, and international news, text and audio forums, podcasts, and stay connected with friends in various dedicated voice chat rooms.

The Sero platform is not just about utility but also about community. Rhonda P., a Sero user, shares that “Sero is more than just a platform, it’s a community.” This community, a network of helpful individuals, will now be more accessible to users of the BlindShell Classic 2.

Beyond basic operations, the BlindShell Classic 2 allows users to leverage voice control to command Amazon Alexa to read the news or play their favorite audio content using the Sero Alexa skill, offering an entirely hands-free and accessible digital experience.

The Implications for Productivity

The collaboration between BlindShell USA and Pneuma Solutions doesn’t just provide entertainment and social networking options; it also introduces features that significantly enhance productivity. Nan D., a long-time Sero subscriber, states: “Sero makes my life better.” Her sentiment mirrors that of numerous users who have found Sero to be an invaluable tool in their daily lives. As this service becomes available on BlindShell Classic 2 devices, a wider range of visually impaired individuals will be able to benefit from these productivity-enhancing tools.

The Story Behind Sero and Pneuma Solutions

Their dedication to making digital life more accessible to visually impaired individuals has led to the creation of a platform that fosters a more organized, productive, and entertaining lifestyle at an affordable cost.

Two logos side by side. The Pneuma Solutions logo has stylized cloud over the name. The Sero logo has a stylized letter R inside a circle.

      Hello Marvin. We currently do not provide a free subscription to Sero. We do provide some free blindness related content but the community features are something we charge for.

    Two things. First of all, why are you so insistent on using the words “visually impaired”? This is about the totally blind who use the Blind Shell because it has buttons instead of touch screens.
    Second is a question. Will Sero remain the same on Apple and Android devices and computers or will there be changes?

    Hello Sharon. The BlindShell phones work for low vision and totally blind alike. This is why we use the term “visually impaired” When it comes to features we do our best to keep all platforms on the same feature set as long as the platform supports it. For example, voicechat is not available on Apple TV because the platform doesn’t support it.
    I hope this answers your questions.
