I am new around these parts

I am new to these DROID phones, smartphones in general. My wife and I are probably the last 2 people that had regular flip phones until last week when we stepped up to the LG Spectrum by Verizon.
She seems to be adjusting fairly well to her new phone. I am legally blind and seem to be having more trouble with mine. I wanted the spectrum because of its ability to perform text to speech (my daughters seem to only be able to send texts - ya know it ain't cool0 to use the phone for talking anymore!). 0
My current issue is the size of text 0o0n the phone.
I would love to hear from anybody that is fighting the same problems I am and how they got around them.
Thanks and see you around the neighborhood, Bryan or txsonofsam
