<br />
== Braille ==<br />
<br />
Various portable devices, such as Apple's iPhone, support braille input.<br />
This uses multi-touch capability on the device's capacitative touch screen.<br />
The gating factors for this input mode are the dimensions of the screen<br />
and the number of contact points that can be distinguished.<br />
<br />
The PinePhone screen has 1440 × 720 pixel resolution and measures 5.95" diagonally.<br />
Assuming that the pixels are square, the screen dimensions should be about 2.68" by 5.37".<br />
This should provide plenty of room for four fingertips on each of the long sides.<br />
Indeed, there is a bit of space left over for control functions, etc.<br />
<br />
== Keyboard ==<br />
<br />
The PinePhone can support either Bluetooth or USB keyboards.<br />
So, a device such as the<br />

might be a reasonable input device.<br />
<br />
== Speech ==<br />
<br />
The PinePhone should be able to accept speech input using either Bluetooth or its built-in microphone.<br />
According to<br />
[https://www.seeedstudio.com/blog/2020/01/23/offline-speech-recognition-on-raspberry-pi-4-with-respeaker this page],<br />
Mozilla's DeepSpeech ASR (automatic speech recognition) engine works pretty well on a Raspberry Pi 4,<br />
using only a single core.<br />
Assuming that the PinePhone's more limited (2 or 3 GB) RAM isn't a constraint,<br />
the phone should be able to produce similar results.<br />

According to [https://ltefix.com/wp-content/uploads/USA-Major-Carriers-Bands-Frequencies-CA.pdf this page],<br />
T-Mobile's primary frequency band for the United States is 12 (700ac MHz).<br />

However, it also says:<br />

<blockquote><br />
This carrier only accepts approved devices on its network.<br />
Even if a device supports some or all of the required frequencies for this carrier,<br />
it will not be able to connect unless the device is approved for this network.<br />
Check with the network operator to confirm whether a device is approved or not.<br />

<br />
According to a "Verizon Agent" on a chat session:<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
We are the network operator and we will check whether the device will be compatible.<br />
For that, we need to have the device's ID (IMEI number).<br />
