thy're too expensive.

Hello. I'm not an android user but I have a couple resources you
can use.
I know somewhere there is an android accessibility list. Search
for eyes
free. Eyes free also has a web site. I would be careful talking
to sales
reps. Many of them don't understand the accessibility features.
I've
personally found iPhones to be more blind friendly, but that's
just my
opinion. I hope this is somewhat helpful anyway.

To ANSWER Call (on Android)
Place a Finger on the TouchScreen until you HEAR TalkBack (TB)
ANNOUCE
"SLIDE Right To ANSWER" & simply Slide to the Right without
lifting your
Finger off the TouchScreen, and that should allow you to ANSWER
providing
you are using an Android running at Least Android KitKat (4.4 or
Higher).
To ENTER DIGITS while on a CALL, you must be on SpeakerPhone,
and make
sure the DialPad IS Checked to allow you to ENTER DIGITS, which
you
should HEAR a sound similar to the sound you HEAR when you ENTER
DIGITS
on a LandLine TelePhone.
(simply LIFT your Finger when you HEAR the DIGIT you want to
ENTER)
As for scrolling, you simply move your Finger down to HEAR Items
within
the List, and use 2 Fingers...from the bottom of the TouchScreen
and
slowly Slide them upward to HEAR more items (if available within
the
List) This is quite difficult for me to do, but I haven't
practiced it
very much either.
To LEARN TalkBack (TB) gestures
Go into Recent Apps, Select Settings, then Select Accessibility,
then
Select TalkBack, then Scroll to the Bottom to Practice the
various
TalkBack Gestures IN the Android TalkBack Tutorial
I HOPE this Helps
If NOT, I suggest you GO to your Mobile Provider, and Work
alongside a
Tech/SalesPerson

Dear Nabs-Sters,
I just got a smartphone. Yes, I swear I got a smartphone. But
there
are a few quesftions I have about it:
1. How do you answer a call with an android ZTE Prelude? That's
the one
I got.
2. How do you scroll down?
3. How do you press numbers while the call is on and how do you
know
they're pressed? I don't have a voicemail set up.
Thank you all, and email me off list if you'd like.
