Hi.
This is not correct, Talkback is a free download from the google playstore.
I've been using Android for several years and this has always been the case.
The only accessibility suite for Android that costs money is Mobile
Accessibility and even this is not so true any more as many carriers are now
offering it for free at least here in the states.
Best regards,
Tom

I have to say I disagree about talkback tom. I looked into this a while
back and over here at least it seems you have to shell out an extra 150
dollars just for talkback...

Hi Charles,
Good point, but it doesn't really cost you anything extra to get an
Android phone running Talkback either. The Android phones my wife and
I looked at tonight running Jellybean had Talk back on them, and all I
needed help with was setting up Talkback so it doesn't cost anything
extra to get an accessible Android phone. However, the one key setup
of the accessibility on an iPhone is definitely a plus in its favor to
consider.

Another thing about the iPhones is that they will work for a visually
impaired person right out of the box by quickly pressing one button 3
times
in succession. The built-in screen reader, called "Voice-Over", is now
active. And here's a very, very, very important factor: The cost of this
fully accessible device is the same whether you are sighted or totally
blind. This is another reason that I am an iPhone fan; accessibility at
the
same price as for the sighted.
