Alice,
Too bad you're on T Mobile, as they are soon to become A T and T. The
other two screen readers for android are Talk Back, which comes from
Google itself, and Spiel, which is produced by a 3rd party. From what I
understand, as far as screen readers go, they are all alike in
functionality, because they all use the Google accessibility API. The
thing that makes Mobile Accessibility different is that in addition to
functioning as a screen reader, CF has also developed an alternative
home screen, as well as a suite of accessible apps that give you
accessibility from the start, to reduce the learning curve for those who
need to use their phone right away. The other screen readers are free,
but using them will involve a learning curve that may require that you
keep your old phone activated until you can learn enough to start using
your new phone. keep in mind that no matter which screen reader you
use, you will need sighted assistance to download and install it, and
you will need a phone that is running Android 2.2 or higher, and that
is not exclusively touch screen based.

Hi, all,
I think it has been on this list where people have discussed
apps on the androoid phones that make the phone talk to you...I'm
with T-Mobile, and I'm ready for an upgrade. They found the code
factory mobile access or whatever it's called, but it's $100, and
I thought I remembered people talking about other apps that were
a lot cheaper and worked quite well? Does anyone know what
they're called?
Thanks.
Alice
