2 Free Android Apps for Print Disability to Compete at Consumer Electronics Show

 

This is from Steve Jacobs, President of Ideal Group, Inc and CEO ofApps4Android Inc.: 

 

You can help us showcase the importance of accessible ICT design at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show (CES). 

 

We (Apps4Android) are the only mobile software developer submitting accessibility applications to CES 2011's "Mobile Apps Showdown."  Both applications being submitted are "free-to-the-user" open source Android applications.  Votes are being solicited from the general public (you) to determine which mobile app(s) people believe "stand to impact society the most." 

 

If our two accessibility apps get the largest number of votes, they win the contest, and generate press coverage focused on the importance and benefits of accessible ICT design. Since both apps are "free-of-charge to users," we will not benefit financially from a win.  People with disabilities will win. 

 

The following links will take you to each of two pages that will enable you to vote 1-5 stars on each of our apps by simply clicking on a Star. 

 

1. IDEAL Item ID, a talking barcode maker and reader for individuals with vision-impairments. 

 

2. IDEAL Web Reader, a GestureBased Web Browser for individuals with print disabilities: 

 

Thank you, in advance, for helping us weave accessibility into the fabric of products and services showcased at the world's largest consumer electronic show.
