Re: KNFB Reader Sends Teaser on Twitter
Neither platform is perfect when it comes to accessibility, but, you can do all major tasks on both. Original message: Perhaps Google should stop designing Android accessibility as a second class platform and afterthought? That's not a flame, but come on. Google has the resources to completely eradicate every person's complaint if it gave accessibility more concentration. And, it's also about resources right? No, I don't agree that iOS should be the default, but if resources only allow you to develop for one platform to start, you're naturally going to develop for the platform most popularly used. -- Twitter: @ScribblingJoe Visit my blog: http://joeorozco.com/blog -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Mike Arrigo Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2014 4:28 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: KNFB Reader Sends Teaser on Twitter Wonder if they are working on an android version as well?

RE: KNFB Reader Sends Teaser on Twitter
Guys, why put down KNFB over price when the price is not even announced? It won't cost $700 or even close to that, but whatever it will cost, everybody decides whether to pay the price or not. I sometimes can't understand the apparent bitterness in members of this community towards companies who exist to make our lives easier. It often appears that no matter what they do they can't seem to do anything right. Why not wait until they show off the product and announce the pricing so we can all find out how good or not good it is and how fair or not fair the pricing is.

Re: KNFB Reader Sends Teaser on Twitter
Like Sendero, I'm sure KNFB Technologies will have to be cognisant of what the market will tolerate. The only way to distribute iOS apps is via the App Store. No one's going to plonk $700 on an app in the App Store. Perhaps they'll follow Sendero's lead and go with a subscription model on top of the base price of the app? That would also give them the chance to give a break to customers who paid a lot for a KNFB license when it was on the Symbian platform. Not long to wait for the answers.

Re: KNFB Reader Sends Teaser on Twitter
The summer conventions and conferences will be the last opportunity for the blindness related technology companies to showcase their offerings in a meaningful way. The NFB convention starts it all off on July 1 and AER ends it all at the end of July. No one will pay the cost of a 32 Gigabyte iPhone for this app. I’m looking forward to learning the details rather than making pessimistic guesses about this promising offering. We’ll see how many hand over their credit cards at these shows for the Blaze. Besides the KNFB iPhone app, the alternative to the Blaze would be buying a used windows 7 laptop for a few hundred dollars, installing an existing licensed copy of OpenBook or K1000 and using a thin, portable scanner that costs less than $50. It is a lot more computing power and functionality than the Blaze for less money. I love America, free enterprise and capitalism. I work at a job 40 hours a week so I can earn funds to afford the best tools for my independence. I take this money and reward companies and entrepreneurs who risk their capital, savings and careers in developing new technology and innovations. Accessible products and opportunities may not be so numerous in the socialist countries such as France, Italy or Greece, where the people there face high unemployment and high taxes. Rather than blindness products at supposedly high prices, one might have next to nothing. Kelly On 6/12/14, Russ Kiehne russ94...@gmail.com wrote: I wonder if it will work on the ipad or ipod touch?

RE: KNFB Reader Sends Teaser on Twitter
Perhaps Google should stop designing Android accessibility as a second class platform and afterthought? That's not a flame, but come on. Google has the resources to completely eradicate every person's complaint if it gave accessibility more concentration. And, it's also about resources right? No, I don't agree that iOS should be the default, but if resources only allow you to develop for one platform to start, you're naturally going to develop for the platform most popularly used. -- Twitter: @ScribblingJoe Visit my blog: http://joeorozco.com/blog -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Mike Arrigo Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2014 4:28 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: KNFB Reader Sends Teaser on Twitter Wonder if they are working on an android version as well?

RE: KNFB Reader Sends Teaser on Twitter
I love free enterprise and capitalism as well. That's why I give OpenBook and K1000 both the finger and use ABBYY Finereader to do my OCR at a fraction of the cost and with much better results. I do hope, however, that KNFB Technologies proves me wrong that their product will prove underwhelming compared to what's already in the market. -- Twitter: @ScribblingJoe Visit my blog: http://joeorozco.com/blog -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Kelly Pierce Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2014 12:05 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: KNFB Reader Sends Teaser on Twitter The summer conventions and conferences will be the last opportunity for the blindness related technology companies to showcase their offerings in a meaningful way. The NFB convention starts it all off on July 1 and AER ends it all at the end of July. No one will pay the cost of a 32 Gigabyte iPhone for this app. I’m looking forward to learning the details rather than making pessimistic guesses about this promising offering. We’ll see how many hand over their credit cards at these shows for the Blaze. Besides the KNFB iPhone app, the alternative to the Blaze would be buying a used windows 7 laptop for a few hundred dollars, installing an existing licensed copy of OpenBook or K1000 and using a thin, portable scanner that costs less than $50. It is a lot more computing power and functionality than the Blaze for less money. I love America, free enterprise and capitalism. I work at a job 40 hours a week so I can earn funds to afford the best tools for my independence. I take this money and reward companies and entrepreneurs who risk their capital, savings and careers in developing new technology and innovations. Accessible products and opportunities may not be so numerous in the socialist countries such as France, Italy or Greece, where the people there face high unemployment and high taxes. Rather than blindness products at supposedly high prices, one might have next to nothing. Kelly On 6/12/14, Russ Kiehne russ94...@gmail.com wrote: I wonder if it will work on the ipad or ipod touch?

RE: KNFB Reader Sends Teaser on Twitter
The NFB convention is in Orlando from July 2 through July 6. The ACB convention is the following week in, I believe, Las Vegas and the AER convention is in late July in San Antonio, TX. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Christina C.
