[Blindtlk] Hold Up, Wait A Minute!

Tue Feb 3 12:42:11 UTC 2015

apps, keyboards, etc.

Thanks all who replied. Cindy, thanks for my answer. Judy thanks for
the reminder about the Android tablets. Might look into that too. I've
never seen someone using Talkback. Are many f the same apps and games
available to Apple users also on the Android system?
