Jackie have you considered going in to The administration offices along with
your technology to demonstrate to them the difficulty you are having and
perhaps arranging to meet with their Technology expert who has designed their
current app? maybe a technology expert from NCBI could go along with you to
discuss with the developer ways to make the app more accessible for voice-over
users and other screen readers. no forgive me if you have the technology
expertise yourself to speak to them i'm such adaptations. I wonder if it is a
case of writing different Apple Scripps but then I have no understanding of
writing such scripts.

Hey Eleanor
I had also read the email that was sent in error before i picked up the other
one saying to disregard the first message.
however, i would like to see an accessible bus eireann app, so if i can offer
any assistance in contacting people i'd be glad to help. I won't even ring a
station have to ask my sister to look at her bus eireann app.

please accept my apology as the email I responded to had arrived in my inbox
prior to a second email in relation to the same subject.

Firstly Eleanor,
I'm disappointed in your bad etiquette of instead of ignoring and
deleting an email obviously sent in error (as requested), you draw
attention to it.
On the bus app issue itself:
Congratulations on your prowess on being able to easily change from
irish to UK app-stores and back again...we're not all equally gifted
in such matters.
The essential point is that where our sighted counter-part can collect
a printed timetable - note the word timetable - but 'schedule' can
also be used - a blind person can only access the same information by
dialling an 1850 number costing 36c per minute (with regular
time-waiting of ten minutes a go).
Neither the MoveIt app, the JourneyPlanner app, nor the RealTime app
have timetables or schedules. So, for instance, if you want to find
out what times on Friday evening the bus is heading from Busarus to
Sligo next Friday, and what times on Sunday you can head back, you
cannot do this using apps as currently designed.
Your sighted counterpart can do this.
Robbie
