[gui-talk] Iphone, IPad, reader, and voices

[Hoffman, Allen]

The KNFB reader software has modules for hardware, and optical character
recognition assembled and then configured for specific hardware and OS
models.  Along with that also is the compiled text-to-speech modules,
some of which don't compile for some platforms, etc.  So it's a
complicated question to know if the KNFB reader can be ported to the
Iphone-probably yes, but is it cost effective is another question.
 
So, can realspeak voices work with Iphone OS and hardware?  I doubt it,
but would hope they get them in that condition soon, sells more stuff
when it works on more platforms.
 
The Apple API-based accessibility model , paired with actual oversight
of some of the main applications released, is excellent, so holds out a
lot of promise for overall applications accessibility moving forward.
