[Blindtlk] What weird things does iOS 8 do to you?

Tue Oct 21 00:14:01 UTC 2014

I am a higher partial so my Alcatel works for the most part.  I understand a 
galaxy has good talkback and other accessibility features.  My One Touch 
Fierce has limited abilities.  You  cannot have magnification and talkback 
(like VoceOver) on at the  same time.  Mineis a predecessor to Galaxy phones 
so I assume bugs are worked out. Perhaps Judy can comment here.  I've only 
had a smartphone (or any cell) for four months. I found it pretty 
self-explanatory and T-Mobile staff were of great help.

I've considered it.  Will Android work for someone who is totally blind 
though?  If so what are some good recommendations?
