I think the Humanware product you are referring to was Oratio.

I have tried to contact Blackberry about accessibility for the blackberry q10, but can’t get much information either way. If you find out anything, I would like to knoww.

Are they good phones? And do they have a screen reader? Virginia Robertson <[email protected]> wrote: Yes, you are right about that. I will say too that IPhone really isn't that great as it once was. Apple needs to come up to standard more with where Android is. Technically, throughout the worls, more people use Android. I am glad that Georgie is here and is a much better speech package to work with Android. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dusty Tague Sent: Sunday, July 28, 2013 2:58 PM To: Leslie Fairall Cc: Mobile Accessibility Android Users List Subject: Re: [MA] Phones with a physical keyboard Maybe one in five people would buy the iPhone-q if one were made. but the profit margin would be smaller and there overall share of revenue from the sales of smart phones would be less so they never will make one. That is unfortunate because there are people that would prefer one. On 7/27/2013 9:11 PM, Leslie Fairall wrote: If I were sighted, I might give the Blackberry Z10 a try. The Relay does everything I want it to do, including using the latest apps. However, it is a real shame that manufacturers are not making the high-end phones with a keyboard. I wonder how well Apple would do if they made an IPhone with a keyboard and one without. Which would be the most popular? I suspect we'll never know the answer, but can only speculate. One of the greatest aspects about the Android platform is that is still offers choice. How long we'll have it is debatable. _____ ma_mailing mailing list [email protected] http://list.codefactory.cat/mailman/listinfo/codefactory.cat.ma_mailing _____ ma_mailing mailing list [email protected] http://list.codefactory.cat/mailman/listinfo/codefactory.cat.ma_mailing Danielle Kuehn May all of your dreams come true!
