[Electronics-Talk] Android Smartphones and screen readers

[Tina Sohl]

Hi. Peter I don't know if this is allowed here, but you can subscribe
to blindandroidusers at groups.io and talk with many users with many
devices from 10 year users like myself to brand new ones. We'd love to
have you and people are friendly and the group puts out podcasts too.
