Hi, Normally i don't write in these kinds of threads. I've made my opinion on blind ghetto solutions clear and i've also found that i'm in a minority, so rather than be flamed i usually shut up, however since you ask, this is what i have to say: I think that Fleksi VO is a lame excuse for not fixing what the developers apparently screwed up when they made Fleksi snazzzy. I've looked at fleksi and am actually quite impressed about what the app can do, but since it isn't available in Swedish i'm not personally interested in it, however it's quite good i imagine that it now is available for all apps and for everyone who can use it. I don't know if i would use it or not even if it was available in Swedish, as i have learned to actually use the on-screen keyboards quite well on the Idevices but i guess it's good with choices even if sadly enough we tend to go towards more and more blind specific solutions which sends signals to developers that accessibility of main stream apps isn't that important. Enough of me ranting now. /Krister 20 feb 2014 kl. 23:54 skrev Scott Rumery <blindfait...@gmail.com>:
