Hi, Kate,
TalkBack is on all Android phones. Any store selling them should let you go
in and try one before purchasing. I, myself, had an iPhone about a year
ago, and got frustrated with it. However, the Android is a much better
experience. I found TalkBack to be more straightforward, have tried Spiel
andMobile Accessibility and like TalkBack the best. I have used it with an
Avail2, Optimus G2, and now Galaxy S4. The launcher I use did cost but is
well worth it - EqualEyes. However, several out there are using Nova or
Apex. However, I've found the Android home screen accessible as well, I
just like the format of EqualEyes better.
If you do come over to Android, though, you won't be sorry. After my iPhone
experience and Apple's micro-management and nickel and diming, I used an old
Symbian phone until the hardware gave out. I was determined not to go with
an iPhone again, but have been pleasantly surprised with Android.
Am glad you have found the list.
Judy

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
