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.

Lynne, you'd mentioned trying an android based tablet/phone, and thought you'd 
need to purchase a screen reader from somewhere.
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.
