And, wouldn't that be considered something that shouldn't be discussed
through here as it would be NDA sensitive?

Interesting, where did you hear that? There's also rumors that Apple may
allow other keyboards, but nothing confirmed.
Original message:
Hello:
Just to let know that in this release of iOS 7, Apple has opened the TTS
API, so developers can use it to make their Apps speak with system voices
or use a single TTS engine for many Apps, and not as it was before.
Take care!

Exactly. You may have 3 or 4 copies of the same TTS engine on your
device, because each application must provide their own TTS and Apple
does not allow you to install other voices and use them system wise.
They also do not allow developers to use the voices that are already
built in. Those restrictions are just silly.
Original message:
Now with the keyboards and voices I agree. I hate that voice dream has
to provide voices that read2go already has, and that seroprok can't be
on iOS, and that eSpeak can't be ported to iOS. But I heard they're
opening up a lot of API's for iOS7, so yeah, maybe speech and keyboard
is among them.

I don't want Apple to be google, and I do not want IOS to be android.
But what I would like is for IOS to provide the features that in most
other operating systems, desktop and mobile. I honestly cannot think
of any other operating system that did not allow you to manage files.
Windows provides this, so does the Mac, linux, and even Symbian and
Windows Mobile 6 provided this functionality. Why IOS does not provide
or even really allow this easily I will never understand. Also the
issues of not allowing you to install other keyboards, this doesn't
really apply to most desktop operating systems, but the voices
restriction does. With just about every other operating system, you
can install other voices and use them system wide, each application is
not required to include its own voice, again, there is simply no
logical reason for that.

Hi,
I'd have to agree with both of you, I love mac for my desktop
platform, but I like my android tablet because it's more versatile.
I wish apple would make iOs more versatile, like mac, I'm probably
one of a few that would like iOs to act like mac os. I thin if the
device is mine, I should be able to install whatever app I want on
it.

Yep, I would say you hit the mark exactly. I'm actually probably a
rare
breed, I much prefer the mac for my desktop platform, but for the
mobile device, I prefer android. I might consider going back to IOS
if
Apple ever lifts any of their restrictions, but that's not likely
to
happen.

Well, this is how I see it. Apple is just, well, Apple. They feel
that iOS shouldn't be a computer operating system. After all, your
phone, usually isn't your computer. The mac has a file manager and
everything else, as you know, and can be added to with any software
you
want. Android is android though, and better for people that want
full
access.

That's certainly true about windows phone 8 and blackberry, but
if
you have not tried the newest version of android, you might be
pleasantly surprised. The biggest problem I have with IOS is that
it
does not do basic things that other operating systems do, such as
file
management. Also, Apple insists on using nonstandard proprietary
connectors, and, unless you jail break it, you can only install
applications Apple approves. Personally, I have a problem with
someone
else deciding what I can and cannot install on a device I have
purchased. Android is different, but the newest version is just as
accessible as IOS I would say. I use it on a daily basis for phone
calls, messaging, playing music, listening to radio stations,
identifying things with the camera, and listening to books.

Right exactly, and for visually impaired people, iOS is the
preferred platform, while there are others out there, they are not
nearly as accessible.

An interesting article and I agree with some of what it says.
In
some ways, Apple has developed a standard for itself that is very
high,
and now that some of their features are in other devices, some
people
could lose interest. On the other hand, the sales will tell the
final
story. As long as Apple is happy with their sales, they will
continue
to do what they are doing, and why not. If it is selling, why not
continue it.
Original message:
A couple of people have been asking about IOS 7 and related
topics so thought perhaps this article may shed some light.
