And, I had an Android tablet. I liked a lot of stuff about it, but found the keyboard clumsy, never got good at it, am way, way better with on-screen with my iPhone.

I'd actually love to be able to say with certainty, that Android and Linux are wonderful platforms for the blind. I've used both for at least half a year. I just don't subscribe to the notion that we should have to work around every little inaccessible app made by Google, and use another desktop on Linux because KDE is barely accessible now, and Gnome has a huge accessibility problem, that you cannot change settings in the settings center. Imagine having those problems on Apple products, mail, messages, TTS, and the keyboard being inferior on iOS. Sure, third-party options, even Eloquence, but I love the fact about Apple devices, that you can get along very well without even having to buy that $13 onscreen braille keyboard on Android.

I can certainly give Apple the credit it's do without bashing Microsoft, Google and Linux. I guess some also just don't realize that when you trash a product you don't choose to use yourself you're also putting down all of those people who didn't make the same choice you did.

One can use hand writing although since I’m totally blind I don’t use that feature, still it’s available for those who might want to use it. In adition, MBraille and the native Braille screen input, dictation, the onscreen keyboard and using a separate Braille or quarty keyboard are all available. It’s so very cool that apple provides options for all of these methods. God bless! Paula and Garçon -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
