Hi,
You don't need a sighted person to show you round the screen. That would
defeat the point of accessibility. The Talkback tutorial is very good.
All the best

Hi Carol,
See from the subject line that you may be already an IOS user so if so I'd
imagine that you'd have no problem doing the jump.
I very recently took the jump for the first time in to the tabblet world and
bought an Android tablet through the good offices of Mo.
He customised it for me including of course enabling talkback.
You may need a sighted person showing you around the screen
for a start but I'm sure someone could talk you through anyway.
So far with a keyboard I have learnt the Recents in TuneIn, the internet
radio being the main reason for buyintg the tablet whilst out and about.
I have an IT trainer coming in a couple of weeks so am confident of getting
there with the technology and of course there are a number of good podcasts
available too.
I'm finding it a bit of a challenge doing all of that swiping/tapping thing
but practice and patience I guess will get us there.
Best,
Tony Sweeney

That's a very informative article, Steve. Thanks for posting.
I do get tempted sometimes but feel that maybe the learning curve is a bit
too much for me now. If you, or anyone else able, would like to conduct
some lessons for newbies, I could be interested and get myself a reasonable,
fairly inexpensive Android and give it a try!
Cheers.

Hi all,
For those who wanted more info about Android, this is a good article to read
if you are on an iShiny and considering the jump.
