[Electronics-talk] accessibility and windows tablets

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hi all,
Thanks for telling me about the accessibility of tablets and windows tablets too.
It is good news that Microsoft improved accessibility and included Narrator and a better magnifier on one kind of their tablet.

I am a little confused though.

The Microsoft Surface does have narrator on it.  You may or may not
like how it works, but it is there.

Okay, what does this mean? Is the surface the type of tablet? Are you all saying that some windows tablets have narrator and some do not?
If so, which tablets have Narrator? What is the difference between Surface Pro and Surface?

If you have used Narrator on these tablets, what is your experience?  Is there only one synthesizer? I ask since on some products you can change the voice.
What is on the tablet out of the box versus what do you have to buy? Does it come with an email client? I assume it has internet explorer. What word processor is on it? Any accessible games you can use?

Thank you.
I’m also going to the Windows store and it will be interesting to know if they have a clue about accessibility. If not, I’ll just expiriement with them and see if we can get narrator started and ask general questions about the tablet.

Thanks.
Ashley
