Yeah, the problem is that it is one of those things that gets harder and
harder to implement the later it gets tacked on. If it is a design goal
from the start then it really isn't very hard to do, and if it is an up
front expectation of app designers that they should test stuff eyes free
then it stops them doing daft stuff that breaks accessibility. QML does
have some accessibility support built in. Stuff like clicking a button
once to speak it and clicking it again to select it, or some gesture to
speak under the finger and swipe around the screen would be cool. This
is just going to be a pile of fail if applications are not expected to
support alternative gestures for touch only users.

Hi Alan,
Sorry to disappoint! It is on the list, (a long list), so rest
assured. We are working on it, however for now I can't say which
technology might be the most appropriate (in response to your mention
of Orca).

Yes, blind people can use touchphones

Is there a plan to include Orca or something else to provide
accessible information for blind users? How does that work with a
touch interface?
Alan.
