Hi Max, There's an entry for Tapatalk up at AppleVis. This app, which is used to read and post to forums that support the Tapatalk interface, generally works with VoiceOver with one major exception: you cannot read any quoted sections of posts within the app. This means that if there is a dialogue going on, where someone has quoted a section of text, all you will hear VoiceOver say is something like "Originally posted by <name of poster>" , "link", and then whatever is in the post that isn't quoted. The "link" announcement doesn't really work as a way to get to or display the original post. The only way to read the quoted portion of the post seems to be to use the action button to view the page in Safari. But then you have to navigate to the post in question to read the quoted section.
VoiceOver may also read an unlabeled button at the start of every post, but this can be turned off in Settings under the advanced heading options for thread, if you turn the "avatar" switch button to off. Then the thumbnail image that forum members ca upload to associate an image with the poster won't be displayed, and you won't hear "button" at the start of each post. Tapatalk 2 seems, by the description posted at AppleVis, to be a major step backwards in accessibility, with lots of unlabeled buttons and confusing custom gestures. I don't know of anyone who has tried the TapaTalk HD version of the app, that is supposed to be version 1 redesigned for iPad only, but the TapaTalk Forum App is universal binary, and works on iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. Oddly enough, it seems slightly more accessible on the iPad Mini than on the iPhone 5. For example, you can double tap to select a post in the app, then there are options for "Quote", "Share", or "More". The only way I can get the selection to work on the iPhone 5 is to toggle VoiceOver off, then tap the portion of the screen for the post I want to select, then toggle VoiceOver back on again. In both cases you should run your finger vertically down the center of the screen to reach these options -- probably touching the "Share" menu item. Then you'll be able to flick and double tap to access the menu items. This is the only way you can reply with a quote from within the app, although you can reply without a quote using the text field at the bottom of the screen and then flick to the "reply" button and double tap. HTH.
