Admitedly, that's a major disadvantage. Of course part of this is Apple's fault. They do not allow third party developers to use the built in voices that are already on the device, this is one way Android is much more flexible. With nearby explorer, you can turn off the screen and the device will continuously provide you new information.

I can't speak for Sendero about Android, but I can answer your second question. The app relies on Voiceover, so no, updates are not spoken if the app is in the background or your device is locked.On Jul 2, 2013, at 4:03 PM, Mike Arrigo <n0oxy@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hey everyone, got a few questions about the app. First, are you planning on developing a version for Android? Of course, we already have nearby explorer which is a great app, but choice is a good thing. Also, does the seeing eye app include its own TTS engine, or does it rely on voiceover to speak everything. If it uses voiceover, does this mean that if you lock your screen, updates will not be spoken as you move around?To change your email settings (unsubscribe, digest only, or vacation mode): http://senderogroup.com/social_media/email.htm
