it.

I can vouch for how great Georgie is. I just love it. It keeps Android
users not makes them want to fly to IPhone. I just love Georgie. It's
time
someone give Android users a choice in speech package.

Hi. If you download the iBlink Radio app! All the podcasts relating to
tech
will be on there and it includes the Android show as the Serotek company
do
the podcasts themselves and the Iblink Radio app is developed from them as
well.

Hi Al
Sorry I don't have anything like that. I tend to learn by trial and error
and the odd video on youtube. The only difference between the nexus 7and a
typical android phone is that you can't, of course, make calls or send
text
messages. However the screen is bigger and therefore less cluttered but
still not too big to explore by touch. There is only access to the
internet
through wifi but that's fine for me. Also the storage isn't to impressive
as
there is no sd card, however that seems to be easily fixed with nexus
media
importer which allows you to connect a flash drive. I've used this for
music
and films without any hassle. Would I buy one again? Well I'm looking
forward to the new version so I can get one for my wife too.
Ah, just remembered there's a really good podcast called that android
show, they did a whole podcast on the nexus 7 so that should really help.
You can find that through the marvellous Tune In radio app and search for
"that android show".
Hope this helps
Cheers
Paul

Hello Paul! If possible do you have any tutorials on how to use the
nexus 7? How to turn on and off speech as well as using other apps? If
you have
any manuals to forward it would be greatly appreciated or pod cast. You
may also contact me off list.
Al

Hi
Just a couple of quick points. Having started with mobile speak on a
few different Nokias, I eventually took the plunge to Android. It's
evolving very quickly but I now own a nexus 4 phone and a nexus 7
tablet, both of which are a joy to use. On the home screen question,
MA is no longer my home screen, there are so many accessible apps
outside of MA and it's easier to use JB and explore your way to them
than it is to use the MA list of apps. I now use MA as an app because
I@m used to its contacts and messaging system. Even those aspects are
accessible in JB but if you aren't a heavy user then it's what you're
used to and personal preference.
On the subject of keyboards, I had a couple of android phones with
physical keyboards and I found that my most used key was delete! It
isn't easy to touch type on such a small board. However with the
latest versions of JB the touch screen keyboards are very easy to
use, you slide your finger around until you find the right key and
use that key by lifting your finger rather than tapping. It does seem
easy after a while and I use delete much less.
Speech input is getting better too and the upcoming Android phones
look very good in this respect e.g. the moto x. Finally the designers
seem to have caught on that everyone wants to use phones without
looking, not just us.
Onwards and upwards, things are getting better for us all the time.
Good luck
Cheers
Paul

ok good. it sounds like in some ways things haven't changed, just
gotten better. can you tell me also. how to explain to a sighted
person when you get to apps if the ma homescreen is what one uses,
how do you go from settings in there to accessibility? it sounds
like thats changed. i hear there are apps now under settings and
more options under the phone settings things that do sound different
,. i'm trying to learn about jelly bean a little too and help my
fiance who has the jb phone and is very new to android but so far likes
it.

Making MA the home screen is similar in Jelly Bean to Gingerbread.
You clear the launcher defaults and the next time you press home
button, you have the choice of what you want to be your home screen.

Mobile Accessibility works well with the Samsung Galaxy Relay. I
got Jellybean in April. The only trouble I had was making Mobile
Accessibility my home screen. I figured it out, but forgot how to
do it.
