Hi all.
As you may or may not know, Jelly Bean for Android contains a lot of
accessibility enhancements. One draw-back, for a braille user, is that
you must install an app called BrailleBack from the App market, and
that only uncontracted braille is supported. However, from the
perspective of a hearing blind person who relies on speech, this seems
much better than before, though the gestures seem rather complicated.
Also, the accessibility appears to be built in. I think I'll be
sticking with iOS for now. Anyway, here are 2 articles on the subject,
one with a basic overview, and the other with the gestures that are
available in jelly Bean. The Nexus 7 is currently the only Android
Device supporting Jelly Bean, but more are expected soon. here are the
articles.
