Ratings and reviews

the screen reader itself is great. the only issue i am finding, is that some of the items when you're trying to change gestures, are not spoken in english at this time. also, a way to add your own different customizable sound schemes, would be absolutely lovely. bluetooth keyboard support i'm sure will be in the works, but i'm just glad that it's back on the play store after it disappearing for a while.

This app looks very promising. I am very enthusiastic about the project. At a time when the native Android screen reader's development appears to be in some level of complacency, especially in terms of support for devices running on older versions of Android, The Prudence Interactive team has brought something refreshing. Please keep up the good work. We would like to see additions of more equivalents of features present in Talkback. Eg. more in the reading controls.

The application is very good to navigate except for the part where it doesn't identify when it has reached the end of item, unlike talkback, and also the sound skeem , as of last year there where more than three, which made it convenient for me to choose from the varieties, please the developers of the application should put in more efforts in looking out for this thing I mentioned, ,i'l be anticipating for these things to be fixed.
