  48. When we first launched project eyes-free in early spring 2009, we
    49. 

  49. promised to post frequent video updates to the eyes-free
    50. 

  50. channel. Well, sadly, we have been remiss in keeping that promise
    51. 

  51. &mdash; but all in a good cause &mdash; we were busy building out the
    52. 

  52. needed accessibility APIs in the core Android framework.
    53. 

  53. </p>
    54. 

  54. <p>
    55. 

  55. We're now returning with a fresh set of video updates that
    56. 

  56. demonstrate   the new accessibility framework in Android, and how
    57. 

  57. these access related tools mesh with the Eyes-Free shell  shown
    58. 

  58. earlier.
    59. 

  59. </p>
    60. 

  60. <p>
    61. 

  61. To summarize:
    62. 

  62. </p>
    63. 

  63. <ol>
    64. 

  64. <li>
    65. 

  65. All of the eyes-free utilities from project Marvin continue
    66. 

  66. to be developed in order to provide fluent eyes-free interaction.
    67. 

  67. </li>
    68. 

  68. <li>
    69. 

  69. The Marvin shell that we demonstrated last time continues to
    70. 

  70. be my default home screen.
    71. 

  71. </li>
    72. 

  72. <li>
    73. 

  73. We have added an application launcher on the Marvin screen
    74. 

  74. that can be launched by stroking <u>8</u>.
    75. 

  75. </li>
    76. 

  76. <li>
    77. 

  77. This launcher uses stroke dialing to quickly navigate and
    78. 

  78. launch applications.
    79. 

  79. </li>
    80. 

  80. <li>
    81. 

  81. With the launch of the Accessibility API  in Android
    82. 

  82. 1.6, and the accompanying Open Source TalkBack screenreader,
    83. 

  83. I can now launch <b>any</b> Android application, e.g., Google
    84. 

  84. Maps or YouTube.
    85. 

  85. </li>
    86. 

  86. <li>
    87. 

  87.  TalkBack provides spoken feedback for native Android
    88. 

  88. applications, including the settings menu.
    89. 

  89. </li>
    90. 

  90. <li>
    91. 

  91. You can use Android Market to install third-party
    92. 

  92. applications, many of these work <b>outof the box</b> with TalkBack.
    93. 

  93. 

  94. </li>
    95. 

  95. </ol>
    96. 

  96. 

  97. <p>We'll demonstrate these, and a variety of other new cool
    98. 

  98. enhancements in these forthcoming videos, stay tuned!
