Windows dropped the ball on not making their mobile platform accessible and with the trend of touch screen devices, other accessible solutions are way ahead. I'd like to see Windows based devices be it phones or tablets have accessibility, with what would the additional cost entail? Whose going to shell out an extra chunk of change for accessibility when the i-devices have it incorperated at no extra charge? Even Code Factory's Mobile Accessibility for Android isn't "esential" to having a decent Android tablet experience. One can only assume too that going forward, accessibility will just get better on these platforms. I'm sure FS has thought of all this and it would only make sense that they're coming up with ways to adapt and try to tap into this market. If they're able to somehow bridge an accessible tablet experience with real substantive accessibility for Microsoft's Office programs and other nuts and bolts type of stufffor people who would like to use these devices for work and not just recreational use, then maybe something like that could gain real traction. It's all speculation anyway until Windows based tablets start hitting the markets and we see what if any accessibility is included. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Norman King Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2012 7:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 14 and touch screen devices Hi. I wouldn't by it for android either. I have an android phone and it's completely accessible with the built in screen reader. It also doesn't have a keyboard, its all touch just like the iPhone. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Trish Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2012 10:02 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 14 and touch screen devices maybe not right now, but who knows in the future, maybe not the i Phone, but an android, just saying.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Norman King" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2012 8:48 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 14 and touch screen devices Hi. I think Microsoft is going to put narrator on the tablets and phones. You can't put jaws on the phone anyway. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ming Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2012 8:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 14 and touch screen devices oh! no. so, we can not use the windows 8 tablet and smart phone?
