<br>
What accessibility features in Android would allow disabled users to make the best use of this tablet? <br>
<br>
I have, in particular, an interest in text-to-speech capabilities in Android. I know someone whose speech has been severely impaired by Parkinson's Disease, and if Android offers an affordable communication solution, I would recommend her purchase of this tablet in a heartbeat. I know that the iPad offers such apps, and that there are ruggedized/bump cases for it; however, we are talking about someone who is on a fixed income; if Android can offer the same capabilities for less money, I'd be willing to suggest the XO Tablet to her instead.<br>

Greetings list members,<br>
<br>
Our mailing list for discussing all things related to the
accessibility of the One Laptop Per Child project has had no
substantive traffic for nearly a year. Beyond a little <a target="_blank" href="http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/accessibility/2013-January/thread.html">"just
a test" flurry in January</a>, the list has been silent since a
3-message thread on <a target="_blank" href="http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/accessibility/2012-September/thread.html">September
27, 2012 about the OpenDyslexic font</a>, which took place 11
months ago (and as is clear from the <a target="_blank" href="http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/accessibility/">list
archives</a>, activity has been tapering off since 2007). <br>
<br>
Meanwhile every day brings tens of SPAM messages that collect in the
list filter, waiting for me to periodically wade through them and
clear them out.<br>
<br>
<br>
Therefore I propose that we close this mailing list down.
Alternatively, if someone else would like to take over maintenance
(and SPAM filter clearing), I would be happy to pass the baton.<br>
<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
<br>
Peter<br>
