Hi Nickus,

If I can just bring us away from phones, as the same issue applies with 
certain manufacturers of great music technology.
Certain companies just don't want to have to take on the extra expense 
required to make their products accessible. The Kontakt player would take 
most of the musicians and producers projects on this forum to the next level 
of professionalism, and as for the East West Quantum Leap Music software 
well, just check out the YouTube clip below...

Hi all, i was wondering if any of you go to the effort of contacting 3rd 
party application manufacturers to raise the issue of accessibility? E.g. If 
you like a app and want to use it but find that it's not accessible, would 
you contact the maker and complain or just leave it and accept that you 
can't use the cool app. Well i am the type of person who will contact them 
and make them aware of screen readers and accessibility so i was thinking, 
if more of you also do it we should ask Codefactory to compile a doccument 
outlining the requirements for a application to be accessible with Mobile 
speak. If a doccument like this is available it would make contacting and 
explaining to these companies a lot easayer and i think those who's not 
contacting these companies now, will start doing it once it's easayer. I 
would like to hear your views on this, we are very lucky to have screen 
readers like MS with very little short comings on the phone platforms 
however there's a short coming with 3rd party apps and with the mobile world 
moving over to the use of more and more 3rd party apps, it's impossible for 
MS to keep up to date so I think it's time we start helping them, by helping 
them we'll also help our selves.
