Greetings,

The one I'm using is: iTreadmill.  It has a calibration feature, though I've 
found no need to use it.  After walking a measured three mile path, iTreadmill 
is consistently within a tenth of a mile, which seems close enough for my needs.

As for accessibility, all items are clearly labeled, but can't be reliably 
traversed via flick gestures.  Instead, it is necessary to explore the screen.  
It should also be noted that not all fields are visible, so if a desired item 
(e.g. step count) cannot be located, tapping another field such as distance or 
average speed will cause it to scroll.

And, this may be true of all pedometer apps, but iTreadmill will not keep 
totals while in the background.  Hence, if the phone rings, you will want to 
bring the iTreadmill window back in focus so as to preserve accurate totals.

Best regards.
Geoff

  Subject: Pedometer app for iPhone 


  Hello, 
  Can anyone recommend a VoiceOver accessible pedometer app for the iPhone? I 
am looking for an app which will count the number of steps taken and the 
distance travelled. Ideally it would be nice if the app had a calibrate mode 
which would use GPS and the step counter to work out step length on a trial 
walk and then use that step length to compute distance walked when GPS is 
turned off. 
  I am currently using steptracker light which counts the steps fine but does 
not do the calculation to derive distance travelled. 
  Many thanks for any tips....
