Any text editor for Android which is blind friendly? (self.Blind)
submitted by Psychonaut55
Hello guys,
Title says pretty much of it. Is there any Android text editor which is at least usable for blind people? I've searched and haven't found anything thus far, so I thought this would be a good place for asking :)
Thanks in advance.

Google docs kind of works. I haven't tested Microsoft word, but I imagine you could get at least some functionality out of it. The only other editor that I've found which works is this one.

It's super basic, but it's what I use for simple documents. I wish I could be of more help, but that's all I've been able to find in the years I've been using Android without vision.

Hi,
Sorry it took me so long to get back to this post. I was away from Reddit for a while and completely forgot about this thread I made...
Anyway, thanks for the recommendations about Google Docs and Textpad, I'm going to tell about these apps to my friend and let's see how it goes :)

my gf and some friends who are android users couldn't tell me of one. It's a big flaw for me to consider using an android phone

Yep, that's pretty sad not having something as simple as a text editor while as far as I know iOS has its own which also as far as I know is totally VoiceOver friendly. Here's hoping it can change in a very near future...
