Rose, You are not alone. AI Squared confused things from the beginning as to who the app would work for, but later they tried to make it clear that it was really designed for low-vision people with the promises that if they sell enough they would consider making it accessible to totally blind people. The problem is, it is not very good for those with vision, at least not the ones I have talked with personally, so it doesn't get recommended, at least not by my agency, so they probably won't sell enough to make it usable by totally blind people. Not so long as there are free or lower cost apps that do a better job.

The note I saw made it sound as though we could all use the app or at least it did to me. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Raul A.

The company AI Squared last time I checked is a company who develops software for partially sighted people, not totally blind people. So, can you connect the dots for me? I might have missed something. -- Raul A. Gallegos The customer service at my bank is awful, I asked the teller to check my balance so she leaned over and pushed me.
