[Diabetes-Talk] Omnipod 5

[ed worrell]

Hey Aileen,

The screen reader is included for free just like voiceover on the iPhone.  The screen reader on the android phones is called talkback. Outspoken was back before talkback existed and you had to have a third-party solution.

By the way am I correct in thinking the screen reader is called, Out Spoken on an android phone?
