I had mixed success with it; not all links pull up full articles; I got frustrated with lack of output in the end and did something else. But yes, it is at least accessible. I think it digs through RSS feeds, so you can point it at more, I'd like to know if anyone had more success with the space.com site.... and careful, not the twitter link, they've got nothing worth reading. I haven't dug through all the headings I ticked yet, so plenty more scope yet. I found it inconsistent when I tried to page up, when it went from page 1,3,5,7,11,14 and so on; not helpful.

Is there any way to get the article to start reading again? All I seem to be able to do is move on to the next article. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jana Schroeder Sent: Friday, December 14, 2012 11:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Nice News App 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.

Am I doing something wrong?

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.

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.
