    Great work you do mate. One of my dear friends. Lots on here will know him. Martin Wilson. Is registered blind. It amazes me the technology that is out there. I speak to him a lot but also send him hundreds of text messages. They get obviously turned into a voice message. I once replied to him with an emoji. Not thinking. So I phoned him to apologise. ( Although I knew he wouldn’t be offended. His sense of humour regarding his blindness is second to none) Not 100% sure. But I seem to remember him saying they were translated also. ( but he may have been taking the mick the wise guy he is) Will double check when I can get hold of him.
    Edit Just spoken to him. ‘Tis true. :)

    They are translated yes. All of the emojis have descriptive names which are read out.

    He's cracked 22 million pounds now. It's showing no signs of slowing down :)

    Also it's not on that we're slowly seeing the normalisation of the NHS as a charity. We shouldn't have to raise money for it - it should be properly funded in the first place

    Yes all emojis and most pictures now can be read out (the photo ones can be quite funny but they are getting more accurate).
