This isn't altogether true about it being accessible on the IPad.  First
off, when I downloaded it, it told me it was free, and even upon openning
the app, it says this free app let's you open and edit/compose Microsoft
Office documents.  It seems to go through Google docks, as it made me sign
in with my Google account.  Once in, I noticed that Voiceover was ever so
slightly sluggish in places.  I also noticed that it creates a folder with
my name apparently up in the Google cloud.  I can't delete that folder, or
it signs me completely out of my Google account.  I can't even delete any
files.  I managed to create an entire folder, then was able to delete it,
but as far as deleting individual files, I couldn't find any way to do this,
and believe me, I am a very experienced Voiceover I O S user, and I spent
almost half an hour with the thing trying to figure out how to do it.
Finally, both with, and without a bluetooth keyboard, I tried composing and
editting a text file.  I noticed that back spacing/deleting characters as
well as arrowing around the document area with the bluetooth keyboard was
not only sluggish, but sometimes hitting the delete key would say nothing,
while other times it told me a character it was deleting, but was usually
about 3 or 4 characters behind on what verbally was spoken vs. what it
literally was deleting.  I know this as when on invert colors, I had barely
just enough vision to see this.  It's one of these things, some screens I
can read without Voiceover if invert colors is turned on, but I can't do it
for any more than about a minute and a half, or my head starts hurting, as I
have to really really strain to see it.  Yeah, I know about zoom, That's a
whole different e-mail, but it's not practical for me.  So, yeah, I'd say
this ap really isn't quite as accessible as people say it is.

Maybe I'm missing something, but, yeah...

Chris.
