Modern smartphones have all kinds of accessibility Stuff. In Apple-land
the bit for blind people is called VoiceOver.

Apparently you tap on the screen and it tells you whats there. Call me old
fashioned but I'm struggling to see how thats easier to use than physical
buttons that are always in the same place and easily found by touch. Seems
to me they'll be constantly prodding the screen to find the correct piece of
information and if any app presents some information as a picture or bitmap
then I suspect its screwed.

And I still fail to understand how it will work with a graphical app.

Perhaps you should try it? Got any rich friends with an iPhone you could
borrow for a couple of hours??

It would probably work on one of my iPads. And maybe there's an Android
equivalent or two; there usually are. But as it's of no relevance to me, I
don't think I'll bother.
