Sure, but don't you end up with a kludge like Jaws, WindowEyes and the software for Nokia devices and come to that, speech on Linux?
I don't mean that I haven't appreciated the access these products have provided but I have been buying Jaws since version 2.2 and soft Vert before that. I haven't updated my version of Talks and maybe I should have purchased the other one for GPS functionality.
I don't mean to suggest android accessibility is a bad thing, now there is some for the Blackberry too but until which update or new iteration?

It is mostly because droid is open source. Accessibility software is substantially more difficult to modify on closed systems, as you often need to interact with the real guts of a system to make it work. That's my experience at least, Stefik On Thu, Dec 16, 2010 at 12:47 PM, Dale Leavens <dleavens@xxxxxxx> wrote:I wonder if it is because IOS doesn't need the work?

Yaa, android isn't perfect; just a suggestion. I think it will be really great within a few years as well, as they've got some good folks working for them on this issue (T.V. Raman, if I recall), and most of the major research groups nationwide are focusing their attention on droid, as opposed to iOS.

Now the only way to do that is to use the java accessbridge and NVDA if your using windows 7. The truth is if your coding for an Apple product you really should have a Mac.

Too bad it is so difficult on Windows, as I do not have the money to shell out for even a cheap Mac. I was hoping to offer some accessible games for the iTouch line, namely card games and other simple games that most sighted people take for granted but that are hard to get in an accessible version, especially for the iOS platform.

I saw a post where someone made the interface builder more accessible so you might want to search the archive from this list. I just have not had time to mess with Xcodelately.I think Susan sent the email so if you search probably for susan and interface builder you will get the mail.

Hi all, What is the status of being able to develop iOS apps if one is blind? Uses Windows instead of MacOS?
