Ricardo,
You should check out the podcast on AppleVis on Netflix. You don't have to turn
off VoiceOver to scroll.

Hi,
Its funny, people with low vision are usually left out in no mans land when it
comes to accessibility. Even with screen magnifiers, I find they don't get
updated nearly as much as screen readers, and are usually after thoughts in
general. But, I know I'm ranging way off topic here. :)
Hi,
I agree lol. But to be fair, the reason why swiping doesn't automatically
scroll the page like on IOS is because it violates Apples patent on scrolling
or some such thing like that. That one is out of Androids hands.

Ricardo, I had no idea that Apple had a pattent on that flicking so as not to
have to scroll the screen. I actually think that is a mixed blessing, since it
can be misleading, as in the netflix app, where you think you've landed on
something, vo says the name, but when you double tap, it turns
Hi all,
If they had spent all their money into innovation and research in stead of
fighting crazy pattern wars at justice, imagine what we all good have done with
the new products and sod software there would be released.
Patterns are not helping the enduser. and of the record, was codefactory
Hi,
I don't necessarily think its was an access related thing, In the case of
Android, it doesn't prevent access, its just not as efficient. I think it
effects sighted and blind alike. Come to think of it, I wonder if patents are
why on Android you have to draw those stupid right angles. I
Ricardo,
Well, for me anyway, being *partially (legally blind) sighted, I just haven't
seen the large text support (56 pt, for example in Android, like I get in iOS.

Hi, I changed the subject to match the question asked in the message below.
You asked,
Why did you leave the android platform?
Three main reasons.
The accessibility is not yet on par with the iProducts. Example, you have no
audible clue when you're moving files to where you are moving them
Just curious, but what Android phone were you using and what version of
Android was it running?

Neal,
I never had an Android phone, but I do have an Android tablet. And I am glad I
still have my iPhone 4S. I hear a lot of folks say that with Jellybean 4.2,
Android accessibility is about on par with ios, and I can't agree. Inconsistent
operation is one reason. Braille access is another.
I agree. I currently have both the IPhone 5 and an Android phone to
play with running the absolute latest version of Android and as stock
as it gets. Stock Android is our best bet as it means that it has not
been altered as manufacturers like to endlessly do on the Android
side. They all feel the
