Re: History of screen readers and speech synthesizers
Very informative. I agree that we could also have something similar for mobile phones. The first screen readers I used were for Simbian, Talks, Mobile speak and later Nokia screen reader. Then I switched to the modern options we have nowadays. Was there anything before Simbian? I assume no. I'm aware of the Windows mobile and Code factory's mobile speak for that system as well, though I never tried it. Similarly, I never used touchscreen versions of Simbian. I quite liked it back in the day, makes me wonder if some of the old podcasts people used to do for Code factory are still available. There was one in particular that compared touch screen version of Mobile speak to the very first versions of Voiceover on an IPhone 3GS. Even if all of that is quite outdated now, it's still a good piece of history.
