I have a friend who was fond of using his phone. And believe me or not, my friend is a blind. I helped him install and configure the application settings to his phone. Why am I saying this? I am just wondering if YAPPADAPPADOO project has plans for the blind people to use their applications?

How were you abke to do that? Maybe he is just partly blind and not with both eyes? If he is blind totally he cannot do that in phones and much more if it is touch screen. That will be funny to think but Im sure your friend sees partly and he can manage to use mobile phones.

He is partly blind at that time but he is now totally blind. But it doesn't matter whether partly or totally blind. The TALKS & ZOOMS applications were developed by Nuance for Symbian phones. I don't know right now if it has an Android version. The low-vision and blind users can use TALKS via hearing which is the main concept of the application. Every move you take or command you do is being broadcast by the phone via a speaker. I just hope YAPPADAPPADOO can create an application that is more like it.

This is great! I was amazed that a blind person can also use a phone like a normal person via hearing. This is the first time I heard that they do can that. That would be great if the applications developer has developed an Android or IOS version of this software so that the blind person can actually continue to enjoy what a normal person can enjoy. YAPPADAPPADOO team will definitely develop one I think.

Good News! There is already an IOS and Android App for the blind. It is called as KNFB Reader app which has the ability to let the blind people listen to the audio readback of printed text like TALKS. But this application is better because it can be used thru Android or Apple devices. I believe that YAPPADAPPADOO can do better than this. This is not quite impossible at all since Progressive Web Apps (PWA) are installation-free and update-free.

Here's my reference for the KNFB Reader App:

This thread really caught my attention because it tackles about people with disability (PWD) specifically blind people who use an application for the blind. I am curious so I have research about the KNFB Reader App which is very interesting because it can be used for Apple or Android devices.

I have found a video which is a demo from Peter Tucic, an Assistive Technological Specialist which demonstrate how to use the application KNFB Reader App. I am looking forward that YAPPADAPPADOO project will create an application like this because it will really help the blind person to enjoy what the normal person enjoys.

Thanks for the info dude! So nice of them to invent this kind of application, it means they are also thinking about People with disabilities. So everything about the application is just audio maybe. And if they would want to open another application they will use siri.

That's what I am talking! Thank you guys for all the info. I will ask my friend if he needs the latest application. I think he upgraded from Symbian phone to Android phone. I was really hoping that YAPPADAPPADOO will do the same applications or much better because of Progressive Web Apps (PWA). I am sure my friend will be very happy about this.

Advanced technologies should really consider how disabled person can be able to use such technologies
Considering Apps like these gives heart to these project.
