Wow, and I found the opposite. It may also depend on the device.

Hi Kate,
I have used an iPhone since VO first came out on the iPhone 3GS. I’ve never
used an Android phone, but, I did purchase a Nexus 7 running Android this
past June, and, if the Android phone is anything like the Nexus 7, I’d say
you are much better off with an iPhone. While TalkBack is okay, it is very
frustrating to use, in my opinion. On the iPhone, a 2 finger swipe down in
an email message or document will have VO read the entire message. In
Android, , you need to make a swipe up and to the right, touch the screen
and explore in a circular motion and choose the amount of text a swipe will
read. It seems like a lot of steps compared to IOS. I’ll admit that I’m
not as familiar with Android, so some of my frustration may be due to lack
of knowledge, but, I recall when I first got my iPhone, I was frustrated for
a couple of days, but the environment was intuitive and easy to learn. This
isn’t the case in Android, for me anyway.
I know my views may not be popular on this list, but I’m just answering your
question as honest as I can having used both Android and IOS.
Good luck whatever you decide.
Russell

Hi list,
My name is Kate Andrekson. I am a new member. I am completely blind.
I curently have an iphone 5 with voiceover, and I'm trying to decide what
phone should get next. So I'm wondering which android phone are
compatible with TalkBack.
I also want to know your opinions. Is TalkBack a good screen reader for
someone with no vision at all? I want to try and put my money in the right
place this time. I'm really starting to think that buying my iphone 5 was
a big mistake.
Thanks
Kate
