[Blindtlk] Would like to hear from cell phone users.

[Chris Nusbaum]

I'd definitely get the iPhone over any Android! There's a free 
app for the Android called Talkback which can serve as a screen 
reader, but from what I hear from other blind users, Talkback 
isn't as good as Voiceover and won't read as many apps.  If you 
don't want Talkback, the only option I know of for Android is 
Mobile Accessibility from Code Factory, which uses the same voice 
as Mobile Speak, which you said you didn't like.  So if given the 
choice, I'd definitely go with the iPhone.

"The real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight.  The 
real problem is the misunderstanding and lack of education that 
exists.  If a blind person has the proper training and 
opportunity, blindness can be reduced to a mere physical 
nuisance."

Thank you so much.  Was also thinking of the Android, too.  Do 
you miss
having the tactile buttons?  How easy is it to catch on to the 
different
hand/finger motions used on a touch pad, and where can one go to 
learn
these?

Thanks.

Judy

 Hi Judy:

 There's a bit of a learning curb when transitioning to a touch 
pad phone
 however, give it a week or two, and you will begin to get the 
hang of it.

 I went with the IPhone primarily for two important reasons.  The 
speech is
 much better in my opinion then say the Android.  And there seems 
to be
 more
 usable apps with the IPhone as well.  Had it well over a year 
now and
 haven't looked back.

 ----- Original Message ----- After years of using various Nokia 
devices
 with
 Talks, I'm thinking about switching to something else, or at 
least, seeing
 if there is anything better out there.  I'm very impressed with 
the iPhone
 and VoiceOver, but would like to hear how easy it is to adapt to 
using the
 touch pad.

 I'm not impressed with MobileSpeak voices, tried a phone using 
that in a
 previous upgrade, and returned the phone and program.

 I would like to hear from people about the pros and cons of the 
phones and
 programs they are using, so I can make an informed decision this 
next
 upgrade.
