Richard, Here is the link to the Radish app in case you want to check out how screen recognition can help to make an app accessible to use. The app is Free. I can't recall, you may have to create an account. Remember SR does not make the app 100% accessible with a smooth use of the app. SR does make the app accessible enough to be able to use the app for reading the stories & buying in-app purchases, which I refuse to do.
