[BlindTlk] [BlTlk] App accessibility

[Jude DaShiell]

If one must talk to anyone on the phone, get an email address of someone
in the accessibility department or the special needs department then do
the rest with email.  The reason for this is that email shows up on their
system with I hope an appropriate subject line and if you get a response
back about a ticket having been opened, reply to that message and include
the whole message sent you.  That way you work within a company's system
your problem or suggestion for additional feature(s) or service(s) will be
on that ticket number.
If any fix or improvement is to happen, the company and you both have a
written record of it and it makes work of project leads easier when it
comes to writing work orders that drive the development process.

Not sure if the community may know the contact person who was responsible for the development of the voice guidance screen reader and could talk to this person or group about improving it?
