Hi, I have experience with the 7940/7941 phones as an end user and as an administrator of the CUCM system. The phones don't have any talking features built-in. Initially, the older VOIP client for the CUCM is not usable with speech either, but I have heard that the newer version of the client that works with the Cisco Presence solution will work. Unfortunately we haven't upgraded to the newer version of the software yet, the current version of the client we use is based on Adobe Air (!!) The web interface for the administration of the PBX is actually really usable with speech, the older versions were based quite heavily on Java and pull-down menus, the new version (we use 8.6) is no longer Java based, has pull-down menus, but JAWS reads all the menus as links at the top of the page, so I just search for where I want to go.

As a standard phone, they work fine. Setting up conference calls can be a pain--unless it is something you do all the time. I usually find that I have forgotten the key sequence to establish a conference since I only do it every 3-4 months. Based on my own research and that of our VOIP team, the only way to make a system like this fully accessible is to use a software phone. I don't remember which product we were evaluating but can follow up tomorrow. Matt On 5 /20/2013 7:58 AM, Chamandeep Singh Grover wrote:
Hello,
I am sorry for the off topic post, but i wanted to know if someone has any experience with the above cisco IP phone and its accessibility. The company i am working for have just roled these phones out to everyone and seeing as they have a range of features, is there a way to make this functionality accessible? The phone that has been given to us is the Cisco IP phone 7942. I know that there are third party applications that can be installed on this phone, but i would be grateful for any more information on how to go about this.
Regards, Chamandeep Singh
