Hi, So how are you reading the Word files in this app? I tried reading the sample file that was included with the app word by word, and I could not read it. When I double-tapped the file to begin reading it, the file was immediately placed in edit mode. When I executed multiple single finger swipe down flicks to read by letter, I did not hear any letters spoken to me, I just heard slight clicks.
I also tried excel and had similar accessibility issues. I had a tough time determining structure of the app. When I tried entering information in one of the edit fields, I heard the little sounds iOS makes, but I was not able to enter any letters or numbers. For those who want to give this app a try, after installing, you will be presented with 5 screens discussing features of this app. Simply read the single line as you would normally do so. After the fifth screen, you will be asked to login using your Microsoft account name ([email protected]). The subsequent screen will ask for your password. This process is simple and will not give you any problems whatsoever. I will add that it appears that one can't use the iOS handwriting feature to enter your password as you will have to use the keyboard. I'm also struggling a bit to figure out how this app accesses my OneDrive files. There doesn't seem to be any way of using this app's interface to grab files from OneDrive. (Shrug).
