I'm extremely confused. Why would I use this when I already have fully functional screen readers? I don't get it. I have a fully functional screen reader. Why should I use this app?

Not needed we have screen reader

I think what would be revolutionary is a device that could describe a photo without text. That would be amazing, but definitely in the realm of science fiction.

Edit: I actually don’t think it’s very far off (if people were dedicated). I imagine it’s a lot like facial recognition software except it verbal. Maybe they can start with verbal facial recognition features like “eye”, “nose”, etc... I’m just the idea guy lol.

Hi, check out NFB-Newsline. It gives the blind access to newspapers, magazines, and quite a bit more.

Screen reader. You're thinking of a screen reader.

your efforts would be better spent in building an accessible news aggregation or podcast app that works with screen readers like voice over and talk back.

Had a chance to check out the app. This would be better as just standard podcast feeds because your app has some huge accessibility issues. VoiceOver does not speak every element, there are focus issues in the app, and more. I'd strongly suggest finding some beta testers within AppleVis before advertising this app any more. I do love the fact it's human narrated, though. You should say that out front because, otherwise, many will say it was a waste of developer energy to make when we already have TTS in the form of screen readers.

I’d highly recommend looking at applevis.com/developers

Are your articles read by humans or text to speech?

Edit: a word.

I actually really like this idea. It wouldn't be for people who are proficient with technology though because their technology can already do that. I imagine this would be good for the older adult who has lost vision and still wants to keep up with the news. My question for you is, how will they get to the article and activate a listening option if this is for someone who doesn't use a screen reader?
