Yeah, no disrespect intended, but I think you may want to find a different project.

The chances of you out doing Apple and Siri is probably pretty small.

This is unnecessary. Case in point, I am typing this reply on my iPhone.

I’m honestly baffled when people are planning a project and they don’t even have the basic knowledge about the blind community and what is and what isn’t accessible .. do your research

Actually I tell you what would be really good, if you could design a decent android option that works with the keyboard. Don’t make the mistake of making the accessibility really good but the phone really crap as a phone a lot of access technology company’s make this mistake.

Have you tried Talk Balk?
soundwarrior20 2 points 2y ago
I’m going to be honest with you android accessibility is completely abysmal anyway
4humans 1 points 2y ago
Oh I hear you, that’s one reason I use iOS devices. I just heard about Talk Balk and was curious if an android user had tried it.

Honestly, cell phone are already completely accessible to people who blind and VI

Wouldn't say completely. But yeah, this would have to be a hell of a side project.

Cool, makes sense. It was mostly the idea of using haptic tech to create digital braille, but sounds like that wouldn’t be helpful.

What’s the point of reinventing the wheel?
Phones are rather accessible if not even more then windows computers I would say this is futile most blind people and most people these days use phones and tablet and the blind community is no exception. This sounds like a exercise in futility.
Why not try POint of sale stuff or accessible vending machines?

Don't base navigation off swipe navigation, integrate COMPLETE keyboard (bluetooth) support using the arrow keys.
