Re: Why isn't talkback improved, or as good as voiceover
@7
There is no blind market. Our preferences in phones make zero difference to anyone from the perspective of money. What there is is a "we need to meet legal regulations" market. Those people don't care if we like it, they only care if it meets the regulations, and after that the primary consideration is cost. Google has gone exactly as far as they have to to satisfy those people across all of their projects, and now doesn't need to really try to improve.
This has nothing to do with Voiceover being first and cornering the market. It's us getting lucky and Apple deciding to put effort in for no reason other than them wanting to. Nothing less, nothing more, and they could very well stop tomorrow. Neither Apple nor Google cares if blind people buy their phones. It just boils down to if whoever is in charge of "this is the thing that doesn't make us money, how much resources should it get" likes us, and whether or not they got lucky and got people who cared/have talent/get it on the right team.
