[Electronics-Talk] Android Smartphones and screen readers

[Peter]

Good morning Tina and everyone,

I sent a request to join the Blind Android Users List and received a mail
delivery subsystem message informing me that this e-mail was incorrect. I
used: blindandroidusers at groups.io

	A quick Google search did not yield other blind android users e-mail
lists I could subscribe to. Please come again with the request message. I'll
check out the podcast later today. Thanks.

Peter Donahue

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.
