Hi, I did not write that message in response to any previous messages about 8.1 or 8.0. Just thought it would be a good idea. And yes, you're right about the accessibility team. But I bet there are people at Apple who have no clue what it is like to use their products as a person with a disability. I think Of course, they will never know, in that they can always take off their blindfolds or take out the ear plugs or take off the tented glasses. But who knows, they may learn something along side the accessibility team. Myself, I'd give a lot to know what it is like to operate the iPhone as a sighted person. Smile.

I know that they are a small team that is why they asked people like them to fix bugs. They go on with voiceover. In this case, it was not a voice over issue that was causing the problem. It was a service issue if you want to read all the threads.

I don't mean that sarcastically, but I do remember when Microsoft touted Internet Explorer as being able to be operated totally with keyboard shortcuts without touching the mouse. I know, it's not the same thing, but I think people who want to develop products for people with differing abilities should, perhaps, have to walk a while in their shoes. Obviously, there are other disabilities as well, so it would mean a lot of pairs of shoes, but I bet it would work better for everyone as a result. > > Neal > > -- > The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
