[nfbcs] accessible cell phones

[Leslie Fairall]

Hi Joe:

I have not tried to install software with Mobile Accessibility. However, I 
have installed standard apps, just like the rest of the general public. 
Mobile Accessibility and Talkback are the two screen readers used on 
Android phones. Mobile Accessibility acts both as a shell and a screen 
reader once you leave it. For your purposes, I would experiment with both 
screen readers to see which one would work best. Talkback comes standard 
on all Android phones, but does not have Braille support yet. Mobile 
Accessibility is free on Verizon and AT&T. It can also be used as a 30-day 
demo on other networks. If you decide to purchase it, it is only $99. I 
tried the free demo before I bought the program. Since the Samsung Galaxy 
Relay was my first smartphone, I wanted to make sure I could do the basics 
easily such as dialing a number, etc. I like having Braille support, 
although I feel it needs work right now. I'm hoping Code Factory will 
improve it.
