I am not blind but I personnally promote it as an app and firmware that takes great care of ALL users provided they are willing to try it. To make things simpler for a "normal" user" I suggest the first (or close) thing to come up in settings might then be a new item called "activate/deactivate blind mode". As a "normal" user I have given up searching for another "music player" app that offers something really different. The only thing I found useful in one amongst the endless list of un-userfriendly tag oriented apps available on Google Play was the ability to edit tags. Unfortunately tag navigation was just as hopeless as with any other. Hopefully blind users have access to a specific shorter BUT smarter list of apps. -- envoyé de mon aPhoneReceived on 2017-11-03 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
