The Latest version of Talkback is really nice. It was released last night,
so I haven't been using the virtual keyboard and virtual navigational
control very long. So far, I like it. One thing to be aware of, however:
There are two situations where the virtual navigational control doesn't
work. One is after pressing the Menu button. The other is after pulling down
the status bar. In both cases, you need a physical navigational control to
scroll through menu options and status bar notifications. The Eyes-Free
Project, Google's Android accessibility team, says the problem is caused by
a bug, which has been reported to Google.
I'm bringing this up so people don't decide to buy devices without physical
navigational controls. Android is a viable platform for us, but the specific
device can significantly impact the experience.
