[nfb-talk] LookTell

[Mike Freeman]

One of the "gotchyas" in porting the KNFB Reader Mobile software to the
iPhone is coming up with a user interface compatible with the touch-screen
in general and VoiceOver in particular.

I'm half expecting to hear before too long that the KNFB Reader software is
available for the iPhone 4 and 5.  As noted elsewhere, the iPhone 4 has a
suitable camera, though other Apple devices do not.  The hardware is pretty
much the same on all major modern smartphones, it's just a question of
operating system and application software.

There's nothing terribly unique about the KNFB Reader's supported hardware.
All that matters is porting the software to the appropriate operating system
and working out how to put it on to the appropriate devices.

Presently, you can only get iPhone software from the App Store (without a
jailbreak of course), but this comes at a 30% cut of the sale price for
Apple.  I do not know if that's reasonable at this point or not.
