Why is the ACCESSIBILITY option greyed out?

[dgalanter]

I click Menu > Settings > Accessibility, and in there, is another level called Accessibility, but I can't click it.

This happening for anyone else?

 

[Adiliyo]

mine is like that as well

it is odd that there are not at least some basic accessibility options available.

It is already so accessible their is no options needed.

Actually, the only accessible thing I saw about the phone was related to hearing aids.

 

[nightfishing#AC]

you would think there would be a inverted colors/high-contrast option and maybe a large font setting.

 

[dgalanter]

Yes, I have a friend with Usher's Syndrom and it would be nice if the inverted colors/high-contrast option were there. Anyone know of a widget to do this?

 

[dgalanter]

Okay, so whom would I contact about this, do you think?

maybe HTC support would lead you in the right direction.

I have many friends with disabilities, one of whom was just asking me last night if I knew how accessible the Incredible was (I used to work in Adaptive Technologies). I told her I wasn't sure. Maybe Froyo will have some nice updates? I agree wholeheartedly that high contrast and large fonts should be included, with the option of having different colors of contrast, too.

I think I may contact HTC about this.

Brandon, I'd be willing to join in contacting them.

 

[NeveSSL]

Sweet. Lets both contact them individually and see what they say. I've heard before that some companies consider a letter as though it represents around 1,000 customers. Not sure how much truth is in that, though. Can't hurt to try!
