Hi,
I'd recommend not using parental controls. Even if the user is young
(as in, extremely young), I would still recommend against it.
They can both put nice backdoors for hackers in your device, as well
as broadcasting easily interceptable data.

female voice but I think the default is female Amie which I believe is
from Ivona. You can download apps like Youtube, Twitter and Facebook
and all are accessible. You can have more than one user account on the
device. I can't answer the parental controls question as I haven't had
the need to use them but they are there within the settings menu. My
Kindle Fire 7 cost £50 and is fully accessible and this shows that the
world of accessibility for blind people has come a long way in a short
space of time.

I'm looking for a bit of clarity here.
I have purchased one of the new Amazon Fire tablets, which runs Android.
It
also has many Amazon presets I believe.
I purchased it for my young sighted granddaughter but know I'll have to
keep
an eye on it for updates, app purchases, parental protection settings
etc.
I have used android a little, but could someone please keep me right on
the
following questions?
1. IDoes tthis tablet run standard Android/Google speech packages
or
does Amazon have its own app, or hinder the use of the android/google
ones.
2. 2. If Androoid/google apps are appropriate, which ones and is
there
a simple guide to get started with them for a blind person.
3. 3. I envisage not using the speech until needed, allowing my
granddaughter a non-speech environment. Could someone tell me the
actions
to switch it on and off. (Also perhaps point the way to other gestures
in
a
document as well)
4. 4. Which parental protection apps might be useful and
accessible,
especially for limiting internet sites to those appropriate for a young
person?
5. Thanks for any help provided.
