Hi,
National Braille Press has a book on Android. I believe that it
is called Getting Started with Android.

So if I may ask you, what android products do you use, and would
you be willing to give me a crash course in android?
I'm really thinking about switching to an android phone, because
My Iphone 7 has serious Voiceover issues involving the focus of
items. I have reported, and reported, and reported this issue to
apple, and with every update, it is not fixed. I have an amazon
fire tablet, and I dare say, the screen reader on it is not that
bad, plus it's a very affordable device. I thought about getting
the essential phone, and going with that.
Thanks for your help,
Darrell

bought at least
8 copied of office."
I'm in your boat, brother! I won't ever purchase any app that's
subscription based even if the cost is 50 cents a year! Sounds
horrible but
I can live with it. Like B J, I have been using Office 2007;
even though I
received a note from Microsoft that support for Office 2007 has
ended, it is
still serving me well and I am yet to find a need for an upgrade
to the
latest Office bell and whistle. I read about folks struggling
with
something called Back Stage and how to disable it. Yikes, make
an app
better if necessary, just don't make it too complicated in order
to get this
done.
I'm interested in knowing whether or not the laws in the books
can be
invoked when it comes to dealing with adaptive app and equipment
companies.
Look at Humanware; it created the BrailleNote Touch and deployed
a
deprecated copy of the Android OS on it; it still sells for more
than
$5,000! How about HIMS? It claims to run on Android 5.1.1 which
will soon
become deprecated as well. And it sells for $6,000! In both
situations, no
path for an upgrade and, worst still, the freedom Android offers
is
nonexistent. Example: In Android Land, you can install and use
your own
preferred TTS engine. What nonsense if I dare say so!
For as long as is possible, I shall continue to look at products
in the
mainstream. As I slowly KISS WINDOWS goodbye, I won't have to
worry about
the shenanigans of screen reader developers for this OS! I will
not pay one
cent for any type of Jaws subscription. Until my WINDOWS
machines all die
naturally, I'll STICK WITH WINDOW-EYES which still PUTS SOME
GREAT FOOD on
my wee, small table!
Sincerely,
Olusegun
Denver, Colorado
