I just got an android in Nov. I really like it and use talk back to send tests. It's not perfect, but it's a step in the right direction. I'm76 and fairly computer stupid, but am learning. I put a braille dot where the speaker phone button is, and it works pretty well. Doesn't replace W.E., but is handy.
