Okay thanks for that Shaun.

Hi mate, As the 5c isn't a 64 byt phone, you won't be able to use the Alex voice. The 5S 6 and 6 plus, are all 64 byt phones. Also the iPad air and iPad mini with retner display are all 64 byt devices. Thus, you'll be able to use Alex on those devices.

Re: [Mac-access]: question about voices.
Hi! Ok just open Voiceover utility with VO+f5 then tab to “allow apple scripts to be controlled by voice over” check box and see if that is checked and if not check it! If that is checked just press Command+8 to the commanders and select the keyboard tab and go through the options to see if the right option key is selected!

Re: [Mac-access]: open emu accessibility
The biggest challenge here is finding those who have the skills to do what you want. Personally, I would like to see people spend their time in making applications that get blind people jobs, then on games for entertainment when they are visually based in the first place. I appreciate the need for relaxation and some people like to play games to achieve this. But when there is so many new apps that are not accessible in the open source sector. This is one area that need to be addressed. Sean On 12 Dec 2014, at 11:53 pm, Devin Prater d.pra...@me.com wrote: Hi all.

Re: [Mac-access]: open emu accessibility
In the open source or free software movement world I doubt you will find such. For example I would not and cannot higher programmers as they do charge over a thousand dollars per few weeks to code and we as the blind cannot afford that. I know in my hobby of restoring furniture I would charge about $500 per item as big or bigger then a conventional bench to help cover supplies and labor. Same with programming so we really are on our own here. Even so in my field of sound ingineering where software is barely now starting to be more accessible, it takes thousands and thousands of lines of code and programmers can expect to be paid over maybe $3000 and higher for their skills.
