[Blindtlk] NFB app

[Cindy Ray]

Actually, the NFB at least is producing an app for the iPhone and maybe Droids, too. I’m not sure about that; I can’t remember. So is the National Association of Guide Dog Users (NAGDU.)

> Why doesn't the blindness organizations like us have an app for iPhone and android?  It might reach more  sighted people if we market it right.  I"d love to se a fully accessible  app anyhow.  Many don't work well with the talkback feature on the android cells. Could have courtesy to the blind, blog links, info on the org., etc.  Make it useful for businesses trying to be accessible, parents, etc.  A one stop  resource app for those who are or love the  blind. Might  stop some of the  fears of going blind.  Who knows what people read when they can't sleep at night?
