No, but you have to understand the concept behind Flipboard.  It's meant
to look for sighted people like a page that you cam flip upwards and see
the next page-like if you had a legal pad with the pages attached across
the top and you flipped each page upwards to see the next one.  The way to
see the next story is to do a three-finger flick upwards from the bottom
of the screen.

 

Hope this helps.

Flipboard is nice and you can link different accounts to it like your
Facebook profile, Twitter and so on. Its supposed to be similar to a
magazine so theres a big visual emphasis to it, but even then, its still
pretty accessible. I believe that theres a democast on how to use it with
Voiceover out there on one of the technology blindcentric sites, but I
forgot which one. The iPad version works different than the iPhone version
though.

Hi All,

My Media Specialist told me I should take a look at an app called
flipboard all one word.  It is a news app that lets you choose the
categories of news you want then presents you with the headlines.  If you
find one you want to read just double tap on it and it opens and can be
read with VO.  Flipboard is quite accessible.  All the buttons work.
There is also a guide that I havent played with yet.  Three finger swipe
to move down a page works but the sound we are used to isnt there but the
page does advance. There are buttons at the top of the screen and the
bottom of the screen.  I have to play with it a lot more but it looks
promising.  There is a sign in but you dont need it.

I use the two finger swipe down to read an entire article.

 

Have fun Steve

P.S. Did I mention its free?
