[Trainer-Talk] Resources and Apps for TalkBack

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hello,

I use apple now.
But android is more open source and less expensive generally and improved 
accessibility in android as well.
Android needs a website for accessibility of apps and blind friendly apps.
There needs to be an equivalent to apple vis.

I'm also on the lookout for accessible tutorials. I volunteer teach for now 
but it would be a good skill to have so if I do work in the access 
technology field, I have those skills.

For now, some podcasts cover android and IOS such as Blind Bargains and 
Accessible World

Ashley

Hello Amy, while I don’t have actual resources, I teach TalkBack and 
Android. I’ve started to compile a list of recommended and accessible apps, 
but my list is nowhere complete or official like the third-party website, 
AppleVis for Apple users. There used to be a site called Inclusive Android, 
but that hasn’t been updated in a long time. I’m sure there are mailing 
lists out there, but the only one I as a part of was the eyes-free list on 
Google groups, which has now been demoted to an announce-only list by Google 
themselves. I would be willing to have a phone/zoom chat to discuss this 
further if you think it might help.
