Yes, Anna, I have used them for quite a while. They are aware of accessibility issues and open to comments. and feedback. I've mostly used the mac application rather than iOS version but I know from some users on the macvisionary list who have used the iOS version. I've found the mac version very helpful, and it has a number of language modules. On the mac side, when you open Ultralingua, you are presented with a familiar layout of toolbar, then table of various choices of functions starting with dictionary (where you choose the dictionary you wish to search, ie. in my case, English Collins dictionary, French Dictionary, English-French, French-English, etc, then swap dictionaries button which is originally unlabelled but I have labelled it myself, through which you can reverse the dictionaries from say English to French to French to English, then another unlabelled button (I can't remember what it was now but have never needed to use it), and then the html section with which you interact to read your results. You need to navigate with vo+arrow keys to read the results. Press command+f to jump to the search box which is located in the toolbar. The table of various functions of which I spoke above, is a bit buggy under Lion but I can see that under the "go" menu item in the menu bar, there is a number of useful shortcut keys to change the function, i.e. command+1 for dictionaries, command+2 for conjugations, command=3 numbers, command=4 for flash cards (never used this function. There are also other shortcut keys if one wishes to explore the menu bar.
Hopes this helps somewhat.
