hello everyone on applevis,
I have been thinking over the last months about switching from iPhone to Android.
My reason is symple, Apple not fixing there accessibility issues.
For those who have used android, I have a few questions.
1. Can I use eloquence?
I've heard from someone that vocalizer has a trial period. Just like with NVDA, does this also include eloquence?
2. could someone tell me what features talkback has and does not have compared to voiceover?
Also, if anyone knows a good starting phone, that would bee helpful.
what brands have the most access ability, or are they all the same?I was thinking about samsong but didn't know where to start.
Someone told me that they thaught that android11 was a good starting point. If this is best, please let me know.
All help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Levi

Well...
I actually like those discussions. Loking around what else is on the table can't hurt. If the switch from one to another system is worth it or even is an option is entirely their decision. What doesn't help in my opinion is false information or opinions that are sold as facts.
I do get that for some people Android may never be an option. Eventhough saying something definitive like that worries me personally. What if Apple drops the ball on accessibility? Saying "Everything else sucks!" does not make anything better. I think we should hold all companies to a higher standard. Apple, as well as every other company, has long standing bugs that do not exactly help with productivity. A little competition could help keeping Apple and other companies to invest into accessibility.
I am fortunate to switch from time to time. And both Systems have their own benefits and problems. Neither could replace my Surface Pro 8 with JAWS. As many here have said: If you want to checkout Android or any other alternative, feel free. If you know that it is not for you, that is fine too. At the end of the day they are just tools.
