Re: [AI] suggestions required regarding android o s phones and speech compatibility
Hey Harbhajan On codefactory website there is a video tutorial which says that if we need to utilize the mobile accessibility app completely we need a mobile phone with joystick or something similar. Does your phone has joystick ? Do you know any android 2.3 phones with joystick?

Re: [AI] suggestions required regarding android o s phones and speech compatibility
Hi all, Yes, the definition of smart phones is changing, and I would encourage people on this list to look at options such as the iPhone or Android based phones. To start with, you do not need any commercial product to use an iPhone or Android phones. Sticking to the topic, there are 2 free open source screen readers for Android: TalkBack and Spiel. The only issue comes up when you have to activate the screen reader, you would need sighted assistance at that time, but once you have TalkBack (the default screen reader on an Android phone) working, you do not need any further sighted help. The main reasons you would need something like Mobile Accessibility is if you aren't technically inclined, or you aren't satisfied with the free accessible browser (not the default browser). Mobile Accessibility has a better web browser for now, but things may change in future. The presence of a physical trackpad or a trackball is a must for now. You can use special virtual keyboards, though you can't use the the regular virtual keyboard. Physical keyboards are useful, but in India, most Android phones with physical QUERTY keyboards are a bit pricey. If you can afford it, then go for them. The phone should also be running Android 2.2 or later, though 2.1 is also OK if you get a phone with a physical keyboard. There are also a few other features missing from 2.1, but it is still usable. Another issue to keep in mind while selecting a phone is to go for a phone that has stock Android OS. A stock Android or a vanilla Android version is one that hasn't been modified by the manufacturer. Some Android versions are difficult to use from an accessibility point of view because of the modifications made to Google's original version. The 2 big advantages of Android phones are accessible GPS apps, and the Android Market that has plenty of accessible apps for nearly every function you can think of performing with your phone. As an example, I will suggest for those interested to checkout Spice Mi-310 for Rs. 7500 running stock Android 2.2. It is the cheapest phone in India that theoretically fits all the requirements for an accessible Android phone. Whatever phone you end up buying, be sure to try and start TalkBack in the shop itself before bringing it home. TalkBack can be found under Settings Accessibility.
