I would think you would tap the one you think is correct. After that first 
lesson the pics stop. I do remember seeing words that could have had pics by 
them, and I just guessed at it. Also when you are going into a lesson there is 
a tips item. Tap on that to get hints for the lesson. By the way, I admit I had 
some previous understanding of Spanish so maybe I was ahead of the game. I 
would also suggest sending complaints to developers. Duolingo is quite aware of 
blind users, but perhaps they have not thought of totally blind users. I will 
also add my email to others emails. However, I know these pesky pics disappear 
after a certain number of lessons. I am much further along so I never get them 
now.

Ihave a better suggestion. Go to YouTube and Plug in Duo Lingo Spanish Lesson 1 
and see what comes up. There is a guy who goes through the lessons and it's the 
same as what is on the App. He does it in English and you will hear what the 
App says in both English and Spanish. In my next post I will send the link to 
that first video in the series so you can get  an idea of how it works. That 
is, if you can figure out what you are missing.

There may be pictures but on my App there is a list of things to choose from. I 
swipe to the right to go down line by line and see what the choices are. They 
are words and you choose the one that  is the word in Spanish for water. I 
probably just double tap on the correct answer and it is selected. Then I swipe 
down some more to "check" to see if I am right. That is how most of it works.

 Maybe there are some settings you need to turn on. Sorry you aren't 
getting any useful feedback. I don't remember having to do anything for voice 
over to read me what was there. 
The program is fairly intuitive cause there isn't a lot to read on a 
single screen. After you answer what questions are there, it says check and you 
hit on that and I even get a positive sound and vo says you are correct. If you 
are not correct, it says something different.
Good luck trying to get it to work. I have other issues with the App 
which causes  me to quit it for awhile then go back and see if I can figure out 
how to continue with the lessons.

The first lesson I opened, asked me "which of these is water"; there was 
clearly a set of pictures one was meant to choose from. I did in fact download 
Duolingo, so we're talking about the same app.

It sounds like you may be confusing Duolingo with Rosetastone.
When I've played around with Duolingo, I've had to type, and speak and select a 
sequence of words, but don't recall picture based stuff. Not saying that there 
aren't images, but I do know that Rosetastone is pretty much all images.

I have Duo Lingo but haven’t explored it yet, so any help doing so would be 
appreciated. I am delving into Spanish which I know some of and even a little 
French. 
Another trick I have used is via the You Version Bible app.  I am able to 
switch not only among English Bible versions but also versions in other 
languages. You do this by activating the version button while in a chapter of 
Scripture. You can then search through languages and versions and select one to 
view, and you will be taken to that same chapter in the new versionthough this 
might not work if you were reading in the Apocrypha in one version and the 
other version doesn’t have that. 
You will have a list of recently used versions you can switch among after you 
have done this. They are available for down load for off line use, though I’ve 
been content so far just to read within the app.  
Hope this is some enlightenment to you on this Sunday.

Re: language learning apps accessebility

Duolingo is definitely very accessible. I learned French using Duolingo, and 
now am learning German.

If you want to learn languages though, I really suggest Italki. They have 
language teachers there that aren't too expensive and you'll make progress a 
lot more quickly. With Duolingo combined with Italki, I've been making good 
progress with German.

I know someone who used Dual Linggo on the iPhone with VoiceOver.
Did you create an account?
It asks you to pick a course and Italian is definitely one of the courses as 
that is what they did.
