That would be like telling apple to charge for voice over. Talk Back is an integral part of ICS now and as such, Code Factory needs to be the best if they want to sell their products. There are a multitude of free or nearly free options that are available. If Code Factory is to stay the leader in assistive technology, they need to be on the cutting edge.

My hats off to the developers of both screen readers, MA and TB forr tolerating nuisance like this. i think TB should also put a price tag on their products then we might just appreciate life a little better.

    few months? only a few months? I seem to recall people asking for
    things to be fixed for at least a year!  things in the browser
    just for starters. you still can't download using it, you still
    can't stream using it, ETC.  not only that, there is no virtual
    d-pad and that would be extremely helpful!  I have to use the
    eyes-free keyboard for this reason under ICS, as I don't have a
    keyboard, and MA doesn't work at all with the eyes--free
    keyboard.  ok, braille is a good thing, but first of all I can't
    afford a braille display, and I don't know too many blind persons
    that can.  not only that, you are walking down the street and you
    get an sms. what you are going to pull out your braille display
    just to read it? not very practical.  the way I see it, other
    things should hav been fixed/improved along with the braille
    stuff, or do this stuff before doing the b raille support, but
    that is just me.

    You took the words out of my mouth. The last i heard, contacts
    were still being synced with google weather you liked it or not
    and it still wasn't possible to send an sms over 3 lines long. not
    to mention bugs with email i.e not moving messages to the bin. If
    braille is the only item that's been added for support just
    because the iPhone had it first, then its quite disappointing.
    don't get me wrong, braille is a priority but don't be like
    freedom scientific. adding more features and not fixing your
    existing bugs!

        Braille support goes Android with Mobile Accessibility, just
        in time for Sight City in Frankfurt


          Code Factory's Mobile Accessibility: first ever software
          application that allows the use of a Braille display on Android!

    Terrassa (Barcelona), Spain, May 24th 2012

    After launching Mobile Accessibility in March 2011 and with more
    than 35.000 downloads worldwide, Code Factory has worked for
    months to make Braille display usage possible with the product.
    Once more, we have listened to our customers and turned their
    desires into reality.

    "Based on the tremendous response from our customers, we have been
    more than motivated to keep improving this product and make the
    impossible possible: add Braille support for the first time on
    this platform" says Eduard Sanchez, CEO.  "Our ambition is to keep
    improving our products and keep up with the constant OS updates
    and add new features that add value to our products."

    This free upgrade is available for all our customers, whether
    purchased in Google from one of our distributors, the free
    download version of AT&T Mobile Accessibility Lite from AT&T, or
    Wireless Accessibility from Sprint, Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile
    USA. It includes the following Braille features:


    *a.*    Use the power of a Braille display in the same way as on a
    computer and similar to what is available with Mobile Speak 4 and
    above.
    *b.*    Enabling a solution for Deaf Blind users to be able to use
    Android devices for the first time.
    *c.*    Ability to use various grades, including grade 1 / 2 and
    computer Braille for both input and output.
    *d.*    Option to disable speech when Braille is turned on,
    allowing users to work in silent environments like meetings.

    Devices of the following Braille device manufacturers are
    supported: Baum, Eurobraille, Freedom Scientific, Handytech, HIMS,
    Humanware and Optelec.
