Eyes Free Shell is it's own accessibility solution. It needs a screenreader, like spiel or TalkBack on the phone to work. It does not require Mobile Accessibility, in fact you can have them both installed on the phone without any problems. You could build an accessibility solution using Eyes Free Shell (free) Spiel (free) and Svox voice synthesizer (free, but voices for svox cost $2.95) for the grand total of $2.95 There are other accessibility free apps like Eyes Free Dialer, that are worth a look.
There are, however, no little add-on apps to manage contacts, calendar, phone, etc. You would need to learn the apps on your phone, or try one of the many other alternative apps available. >-----Original Message----- >From: Diane Graves [mailto:princess.di2...@gmail.com] >Sent: Tuesday, May 8, 2012 09:44 AM >To: ''Mobile Accessibility Android Users List'' >Subject: RE: [MA] Where's the New MA > >How does the eyes free shell work?
