Frequently Asked Questions
EARLIER VERSION OF THIS WEBPAGE:
The app has now completed blind-accessibility testing with users on the eyes-free forum. Warren Carr from the Eyes-Free google group had this to say:
there are tons of recording apps out there on the Play Store, but this one stand above them all! Unlike most that don’t give a hoot about folks with disabilities, this one took notice and made the app accessible to blind users as well. This will definitley have a 5 star rating once it hits the Play Store.
