TalkBack: An Open Source Screenreader For Android
,----[ Quote ]
| Earlier this year, we blogged about project
| Eyes-Free â a collection of Android
| applications that enable efficient eyes-free
| interaction with your mobile phone. Since
| then, one of the questions we have received
| most often is about a complete access API to
| enable general purpose adaptive technologies
| such as screenreaders.
|
| We are happy to announce the first version
| of such an API as part of the latest Android
| release (Donut). This new API is now
| available within the Android 1.6 SDK , and
| we welcome developer feedback. The Android
| Access framework generates
| android.view.accessibility.AccessibilityEvent
| in response to user interaction events; the
| event payload contains additional details
| about the event, e.g., the user interface
| control that received focus. This access
| framework enables the creation of general
| purpose screenreading applications that make
| all of Android's user interface, as well as
| native Android applications built with
| standard Android widgets usable without
| looking at the screen.

,----[ Quote ]
| Too busy to bother with buying an Android-powered
| Archos 5? Then you're probably way too busy to
| bother with this here hack. But just in case
| you've got a morning you can wipe clean and a few
| afternoons where you can scoot out early, it's
| apparently possible to load up an Android 1.6 port
| onto one's Samsung Q1 UMPC.
