how about they take voiceover out altogether? No, we are never going to decide whether a product is released or not; no company is going to wait for blind people to be happy before releasing their product. We are too small a group. It's just the way it is. even people developing for the blind do this. It's something we have to get used to and work with. I am sure it will be ironed out, but you can forget about it waiting to be released until it is. it's not happening. The sighted world does not accommodate us. we have to find ways of doing things that sighted people do. It has been that way since I started in school with a brailleer, and a teacher to print my assignments for my sighted teachers, and it will always be that way. it is so much better than it was before voiceover, and I am grateful for that. I can buy something out of the box and use it.
