Phone model: myTouch SlideAccessibility Rating:
4 - The app is basically accessible, though there are some minor improvements that would make it more usable
Navigation:
Most of the controls can be accessed
Labels:
Most, but not all buttons, edit boxes, and controls are labeled
User comments:
In general, this app works well. There are two unlabeled buttons. Go to the top left corner and then arrow down once. This is the button to start listening to identify a song. In the top right is a button that will let you speak a song title or artist. Press this button and then press enter again to stop speaking and load the results. When Sound Hound recognizes a song, you can focus the artist and album but not the title. To get around this, press menu and go to history. All of your recent songs will be listed here. Some options, such as tour dates, bring up the browser so you'll need the Ideal Web Browser or another accessible browser to read these pages.
