Hello Travis Thanks for the info. I was not aware of the Google screen-reader. However, it is a little something which will just have to remain a "POI", (Point Of Interest) for us for the foreseeable future. We don't actually possess an Android-based device.
I don't doubt that there are people who have it working successfully, visually impaired and otherwise. However, I was only speaking from my own personal experience when I tried it. And again, as I said in my message, I didn't try it with any accessibility assistance; since I don't require it and although I am, of course, interested in accessibility, I didn't have the time anyway.

While I have no doubt the code factory option is decent, and works, I'd first suggest checking out google's screen reader which is part of the eyes free package. It's called talk back, and while I've had no success getting it to work on the tablet we have here, two friends of mine have gotten it working perfectly on their android based phones. It does appear to be written specifically for phones, but I don't see why it can't be made to work on tablets, but I haven't figured out how to get it to work on ours, though zI've not tried an external memory card yet, which seemed to solve one person's problems with making it work for them, so you might want to give talk back an option before plunking down funds for something from code factory, which from my extremely exposure, works identical to talk back anyhow. ======================================= The Techno-Chat E-Mail forum is guaranteed malware, spyware, Trojan, virus and worm-free To modify your subscription options, please visit for forum's dedicated web pages located at http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/techno-chat You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Techno-Chat group at either of the following websites: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/techno-chat/index.html Or: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]> you may also subscribe to this list via RSS.
