I have played around with it some but I'm still currently using an apex. My cool pick would probably have to be the braille note touch though. I enjoy exploring the different types of accessible peaces of technology. 2. From Richard Merryfield I'm working on a blind accessible game that is intended to both be fully playable for the blind, as well as offer a sighted player a unique mechanic. The goal is to try to give nearly an equivalent experience for both types of players. We want to use the game as a proof of concept to demonstrate that mainstream commercial games have the potential to have accessibility navigation implemented into their design. If this game is successful, our next step will be to create a generalized API that can be used in a wide variety of VR settings, ranging from video games to potentially even drafting software. You can download our game here. Make sure to enable accessibility mode by going into the config.ini file and changing access=0 to access=1. We are still building out a configuration application for the game. Sorry for the inconvenience. However, once you have accessible mode running you can experience it for yourself. Website 3. From Rebecca Skipper: Hi, What Android device would you recommend for someone who already uses an iPhone and just wants a tablet with a keyboard to learn how to use Android? I have an amazon Kindle Fire HD 6th Generation Tablet, but this is not the traditional Android setup. Should I invest in a Chrome Book or are there other affordable options? Thanks. 4. From Lisa McLaughlin Hi there, I was wondering if you guys could help assist me with my new android phone. It's running android marshmallow. I'm using talk back plus I've downloaded the eloquence text to speech. I would be grateful if you can give me some advice and support regarding navigating around the touchscreen. I have been an Apple iPhone user for many years and I now fancy a change. I did listen to the talk back Tutorialggo but feel to fully understand how to navigate around the touchscreen using the talk back gestures. I would appreciate any help that you can offer, many thanks, Lisa Mclaughlin 5. From Jimmy Musk I am looking to publish my article on your blog. Is there any opportunity. Please let me know the procedure? 6. From Rusty Hilliard: Love the site, and enjoy the podcasts. I am a full-time preacher, and thus in preparing sermons, use a lot of tech. Thanks for the info. Have you guys done a podcast on building websites using Wordpress? Could you guys do a podcast on good Windows based Twitter clients?
