[Avodah] smartphone on shabbat

*Zomet At The Crossroads*
*> "Telegramma" - Speaking on a Smartphone on Shabbat */ The Zomet Institute

At Zomet Institute we receive many requests on a wide range of subjects.
One subject that keeps coming back is: When will you design a cellphone
that can be used on Shabbat? This question comes from health and security
personnel, who use a special telephone as part of their regular Shabbat
routine, and who are looking for a way to use the new devices while keeping
desecration of Shabbat to a minimum.

We are happy to announce that in the last few weeks Zomet has finished the
development of a smartphone "App" that uses a speaking device for Shabbat
and where the keys are operated using the principle of "*gramma*" –
indirect action.

Touching the screen merely changes the flow of an existing current, and
therefore the smartphone can be used when there is a need for it. The "
*Telegramma*" App is suitable for use only in cases of dire need, such as
for matters related to health, security, or similar situations.

The App is suitable for smartphones which operate on Android version 4 or
higher, and it operates in conjunction with the Telegramma speaking device.
