A Few More Apps I found out about a few more apps since the presentation You may want to check out
bull AppWriter ($1999) - Just released and was designed for students with print disabilities I am not yet sure if it works with VoiceOver I will be experimenting with it soon
bull SAS Flash Cards (Free) ndash The decks submitted by other users work with VoiceOver unless they have pictures in them
bull Readability (Free) ndash Similar to Instapaper however you need to cut and past the weblink into Readability from Safari There is however a desktop add-in to send webpages directly to the app from your Mac or PC
bull Notability (99cent) ndash Someone suggested this app at the conference It is pretty cool but not all the functions appear to work with VoiceOver and it is only for the iPad A similar app that has been getting good reviews is Penultimate (99cent) Both are recommended for low vision users only
