I presume you are familiar with the www.applevis.com site -- this is
one of the best sources of the kind of information you are after.

Greetings, everyone,
I wanted to let you all know about a project I'm working on. I am
writing a book about iOS accessibility, called iOS Access for All,
Your Comprehensive Guide to Accessibility for iPad, iPhone, and iPod
Touch. I'm writing about all accessibility tools in iOS, including
VoiceOver, the low vision tools, Sir/voice input, guided access,
assistive touch, and features designed for hearing impaired users.
I've been writing about technology and the Mac for more than 25
years, and this will be my 13th book.
iOS Access for All focuses on teaching you how to use iOS, if you're
new, and how to get the most from it if you're not. There will also
be a chapter featuring the best third-party apps. I want to include
apps that are designed to enhance accessibility, as well as great
apps in all categories that happen to do accessibility right.
And the app chapter is why I'm writing to this group, even before
the book is published. I have reviewed hundreds of software products
over the years, but I know that everyone who uses iOS has a
different set of favorite apps. I'm looking for feedback about the
apps you love and why, and which ones you think blind folks and
other iOS users need to know about.
It's a big topic. I have started discussions of different app
categories on my site, on Facebook, and on Google Plus. Links are
below. Please follow the book on your favorite social network, and
help me kickstart the conversation there. So far, I've posted about
games and navigation apps. I plan to roll out more discussions
during the next few weeks, covering productivity, news/information,
entertainment, reading, lifestyle, and accessibility apps.
There's a link below to my FAQ about the book, but you can also
learn more about it from a couple of podcasts where I've been
interviewed. I had a great talk with JJ from
<http://www.blindbargains.com/audio.php?m=8210>Blind Bargains and
Robert and Allison welcomed me to
<http://www.dr-carter.com/?p=201>The Tech Doctor podcast.

I'm really excited about this book, and hope it will be a useful
one-stop shop for anyone interested in accessibility on iOS,
particularly for new users. I welcome any feedback you have, so use
the social links above, or get in touch via my personal contact info below.
Thanks,
