Introducing TalkBack - An Open Source Screenreader: Part 2

Here are some examples of Android applications (both from Google as well as third-party applications available onmarket) that work with TalkBack:

Google Maps: Perform searches, and listen to directions.
YouTube: Search, browse categories and play.
Simple Weather: Listen to local weather forecasts.
Facebook: Moving around on the social Web.
But in this video, we'll demonstrate the use of a very simple but useful Android application — the Android Alarm clock.

Launch: I launch the alarm clock from Marvin's eyes-free application launcher.
TalkBack: TalkBack takes over and starts speaking.
Navigate: Navigating with the trackball speaks the alarm under focus.
Activate: Activating with the trackball produces appropriate feedback.
Navigate: Selected alarm displays its settings in a list-view which speaks as we navigate.

I can understand this guy just fine cause I'm asian? Anyway, finally, I hope to be able to say goodbye to the iPhone, MobileSpeak and Talks: cause they're way over my budget.

video is all well and nice, but given the target audience forthis topic, how about an audio-only podcast? (Have you tried using YT with a screen reader)
