Re: Google's VoiceSearch App

2012-11-01 Thread Ioana Gandrabur 
Really?
I could not make any sense of it. Many strangely labeled buttons. Could I have 
the wrong app? I have "google search".

If some work successfully with this app I would love some pointers. I might 
give it a try and ask more concrete questions in this case.

Best,

Ioana

I'm quite prepared to be wrong, but it seems perfectly accessible to me.

Is this app not accessible on IOS? Is there Android equivalent app not
accessible with Talk Back?

Is this app not accessible on IOS? Is there Android equivalent app not
accessible with Talk Back?

I think it saves time because it sends text to the server as you speak rather 
than waiting until you are done.

Stupid button labelling and accessibility. If I may brag, my sister is a big 
shot top level project coordinator for the google equivalent for siri. Will 
complain to her and see what it does.

Interesting. I would guess the only way they get responses to come
back that quick is to maintain a constant connection to the server. Of
course I can only speculate, but it would seem they use resources to
maintain a connection rather than take the time to send a query. I
wonder if they could be bothered to make it voiceover accessible or
make sure it is? It seems they can't be bothered to care about that
all that much on their own platform.
