Hey sorry about my last post. I was reading the message and I guess the Samnet

RE: Suggestions for Voice Answer
Dear Shawn,

Thanks so much for your feedback, it's really inspiring to hear how our apps 
can be of help to people with disabilities.

We will look into voiceover functionality, actually we haven't taken that into 
account yet. I hope we can add button labeling to help.

For speech output we depend on our provider. They have changed the voice a few 
months ago. We are considering other options as well. For now, do check the 
voice speed setting in 'settings' in the app, you can set it to speak slower or 
faster. This may help in understanding it better.

Thanks again, we are working hard on further improving the app, and feedback 
like this is what keeps us going at it. Many people expect so much and are fast 
to complain. Voice Answer has many uses, but we know it is not perfect. Still, 
we believe it's a great app and we will continue to make it even better!

Best regards,

Martijn van der Spek

Hi. I was the one that just sent a review to you guys. I gave you 4 out of 5 
for Voice Answer. Thanks for incorporating text messaging in your app. I also 
like how you got the robot to read your text message before you send it. I'm a 
visually impaired person that uses Voiceover so there are some accessibility 
issues but they're easy to work around.
I got a couple of suggestions, and they are as follows:

1. For Voiceover users, there are 2 unlabelled buttons. One says dimmed button, 
and the other one says button which I assume is where you press to talk to Eve. 
If you could label the button to make it say, "Tap here to talk" or something 
like that, blind users would know where to press. I have some sight so I know 
where the robot is, but others might not. 2. In one of your other apps called 
"Voice Ask," when it first came out, Eve sounded human. Go to 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3ND950SWOo to see what I mean. In that video, 
you could see that Eve sounded more human, and although you can't hear it in 
that video, she even took breaths. It would be cool if you brought her back in 
Voice Answer, or better yet, both apps. Compare her to how she sounds in that 
video to the way she sounds now. I think you'll find her a bit robotic sounding.
3. If people like the way she sounds now, all robotic and everything, then 
there should be an option in both apps' settings to choose which voice people 
want.
I really enjoy this app and I can't wait to see what kind of improvements will 
be added in the next update. Thanks for your time.
