Is keyboard only one tool (except trackball or d-pad) for people with disabilities for android tablets? We develop application and customer requested accessibility features for this product. I'm looking for approximate vision how it should looks, works and how to test these features. I need to understand what google efforts for user with disabilities. At the moment if I understand correctly android efforts using a trackball or a d-pad or a keyboard When accessibility functionality is enabled user can tap on the screen and get back voice hint what he taped, but it's very inconvenient because you should touch widget (hence open application) to figure out what is it. I set Touch & hold delay to Long option in the accessibility settings, but I don't feel any affect.
For example on iPad users can move by hand in different directions (gesture movements) on the screen. Every movement moves cursor to next widget. When user found needed application he/she should tap on the screen in any area and widget will be started. In my opinion Apple approach is much comfortable.
