I agree with the people that say nothing is perfect but they are trying. I did try using Spiel and Talk Back with no success.

At least we have a screen reader. We should be greatful for what we have. A year or so ago, I never would've thought that something like this existed, and I am so greatful to Cf. Everything needs work, but they're trying, and complaining about it isn't getting anyone anywhere. So I just say, thank you to Codefactory for giving this product to us. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jarrod Jicha" <[email protected] To: "'Mobile Accessibility Android Users List'" <[email protected] Date sent: Thu, 24 May 2012 14:11:55 -0400 Subject: RE: [MA] Braille support goes Android with Mobile Accessibility you should listen to my podcast on ICS with MA. it leaves a lot to be desired. if you want to hear it. go to www.jjhof.com/android/ics/podcast07.mp3 and you will see what I mean.

More features. When reading about updates, the only thing it said was braille support. while that is ok and all, a lot of people will not benifit from that cause braille devices are higher than they need to be and people just don't have monies to spend on that sort of thing. Well, some don't anyway. Along with righting on this list, I also incurrage u all to actually email cf directly. It may get some ware and it may not but at least u tried.

The only time i got a response was when i wrote them directly, are we then to assume they don't read this list? braille is invaluable but unaffordable for the masses as you said. anyway no point ranting on here any further, better go open a support ticket. reminds me of the anti climax when the iPhone 4S came a long... they may have released because they'd been promising a release for a while. personally i wouldn't have gone ahead.
