There are plenty of small portible Bluetooth speakers and even battery
powered speakers that plug into your iPhone's head phone jack.

I connect my Bluetooth Braille display to my iPhone and use it the same way
whilst walking, or i tuck my iPhone under my shirt collar so the speaker is
near my ear. I also use a guide dog, and can easily hear the speech even in
high traffic. There are also Bluetooth speakerphones which can be purchased
and carried in a similar fashion.

hi there very interesting point about flicking a screen when walking. my
guide dog is brilliant but i must say with the iphone or the android when
walking if i have to do anything on the screen it is a real pain when
walking. i am one of the very fortunate people who can use the apex with
sendero gps and with the device over my shoulder i have the braille at my
right hand. today walking on a dual carrige way it was impossible to hear
my iphone gps but with the braille on the apex all was well. i knew where
the small gap was that i had to find to the park but of course grace found
it but again it was good to know it was coming up. i wonder if anyone on
the list uses the android gps with a braille display this of course would
make it a lot better to use when walking but again which people say on the
list the cost of a braille display is very expensive. what about a voice
activated gps but again in heavy traffic it would not work. all the
interesting stuff though.
