We are pleased to announce that the latest iOS app to be inducted into our App Hall of Fame is Digit-Eyes Audio Scanner and Labeler.
For some time it was looking like this would be an extremely close vote, with several apps appearing to be in contention. However, Digit-Eyes ultimately won out as the firm choice of AppleVis users, gaining more than double the number of votes of its nearest challenger.

Fleksy - Happy Typing has broken all records to become the latest inductee into our iOS App Hall of Fame.
It's 50% share of the vote was more than double that of its closest challenger. This should perhaps be no surprise for an app that has been variously described as "revolutionary", "ground-breaking", "amazing", "awesome" and "a game changer".

Well, as this is my first post to the AppleVis blog, I just want to say a big hello to all readers and website admins. It's a great honor to be blogging here.
For more than seven years I've been using Symbian handsets and alpha-testing its screen readers and applications. I also used to write a Symbian-related blog titled "MobileSpace." However, now that Symbian is about to become history (some say it's already defunct), more than a month ago I decided to plunge into the iOS world and get an iPhone 4S.

Google recently announced that it will shutdown its popular RSS aggregation service, Google Reader, on July 1. If the tech pundits are to be believed, the early frontrunner to be many people's replacement RSS service is Feedly.

We are pleased to announce the launch of the AppleVis iOS App Hall of Fame, where we will be acknowledging and celebrating the apps that exemplify all that is great about owning an iDevice.
Our goal for the Hall of Fame is to showcase the passion and hard work that app developers put into creating great apps that are fully accessible to VoiceOver users. These apps place powerful tools into the palms of our hands, and give access to services, information, media and entertainment that the sighted world takes for granted.

Hello everyone,
The time is almost here! Within 24 hours, iOS 7 will be available to the masses, and we at the AppleVis Editorial Team are very much looking forward to the public release.
As we announced on Sunday, there will be lots of podcasts, guides, and blogs available to help you quickly get up to speed with iOS 7, so please do check back on AppleVis when iOS 7 goes live tomorrow. In addition, the AppleVis Zello channel will be open from 1:00 p.m. EDT / 6:00 p.m.

The purpose of this post is to try and answer some of the questions that VoiceOver users may have before or after they update to iOS 7.

The Kindle app for iOS devices is not usable with VoiceOver. We believe that it is time for Amazon to stop excluding blind iOS users from their Kindle Book Store, so hope that you will support our Campaign for fair and equal access by lobbying them to make the app accessible. Not only would this be a good commercial decision for Amazon, but it is simply the 'right' thing for them to do and arguably something they have a legal requirement to do. As consumers, it would also provide us with some much-needed competition and choice when shopping for eBooks.

For some time now I have been considering various ways to make the AppleVis site an even more useful resource. Inevitably, I end up facing the same old problems: the time demands; not having a breadth or depth of knowledge of the iOS platform, VoiceOver and iDevices; and having a writing style that doesn't lend itself to creating editorial content.
However, it’s clear that there are many users of this site who possess a wealth of knowledge and experience, so I think the time has come to invite more people to get actively involved in maintaining and creating content.

I'm pleased to announce the launch of a new feature on the AppleVis site, our Campaign of the Month.
Each month we will select an app that currently has accessibility issues, and ask you all to contact its developers and encourage them to improve VoiceOver support.
To make this easy, we've created a handy little form that will do most of the work for you. The form even includes a draft message that you can either use as it is, or edit to your own liking.

The app chosen this month for induction into our iOS App Hall of Fame is Light Detector.
Gaining double the number of votes of its nearest challenger, this would seem to be a very popular choice among the AppleVis community.
