The hard part is getting talk back running on the emulator but if you are
working in Android let me know and I can send you a script where you can get
it running without sited assistance.

Android comes with a built in screen reader called TalkBack.

hi,

i called a local at&t wireless store and most of what they sell are the 
android operating system.
will mobile speak be created for this system or will there possibly be a 
free open source app to make these phones talk?
i would like to get an unlocked phone with no monthly fee off ebay for a low

talk time charge when needed solution.
