Hello All,
With the latest release of TalkBack, Google’s free screen reading solution for the blind and low vision, I now have reasonable access to all areas of my Samsung Nexus S touch-screen-only Smartphone. For the record, this is an unbranded/unlocked GSM device currently running Android version 2.3. In short, this means that the phone has no software interface modifications that some wireless providers insist upon making before agreeing to sell a product.
This is neither good or bad, it just is. In fact, I would argue that for many, the user interface modifications that companies such as Verizon Wireless and AT&T Wireless make only serve to enhance the user experience for the average Smartphone owner.
Be that as it may, I prefer the simple, smooth, unencumbered feel of an unlocked/unbranded device. Read the rest of this entry »
Hello Everyone,
In episode 88 of the Candle Shore Podcast, I discussed the fact that, at the time of the podcast, Google Android Touch-Screen only devices were not accessible to the blind and low vision.
I guess Google must have been listening (Smile) because I just installed the latest version of TalkBack, Google’s free screen reading solution for the blind and low vision.
Lookout iOS, Google is on your trail. (Big Smile)
The following is the latest TalkBack documentation posted by Google. Please note that I have done some slight editing and formatting for ease of use.
Bravo, Google!!

How To Delete Multiple Emails At Once On Your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch
If you have email delivered to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, it can be annoying deleting several emails individually. Here we take a look at how to delete multiple emails at once.
1.
Open your email, and after you checking it, there might be several you’ve already read on your computer, other device, or just want to get rid of.

Episode: An iOS Virtual Teleprompter For The Blind And Low Vision
Hello Everyone,
Recently, I attempted to locate the Google Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) user guide in either HTML or Plain Text format in order to more easily read it with a software screen reading solution for the blind and low vision.
As I was unsuccessful in locating such a version, I decided to publish my own.
Click Here to either download or view the Google Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) User Guide in HTML/Plain Text document format, complete with Hyperlinks.
Although this document contains the entire text found in the original PDF version, I have omitted example images and diagrams. In short, the formatting ain’t pretty but it works just fine for anyone using a screen reading software solution for the blind and low vision.
The document is quite large so it may take up to two minutes for it to load into your browser, be patient.
Enjoy,
Mark
