At the spring 2013 M-Enabling Summit, Sprint CEO Dan Hesse announced the
upcoming availability of the LG Optimus F3, “the first phone to come
pre-loaded with Google TalkBack, which allows users who are blind or
visually impaired to receive assistive voice prompts.” According to Hesse,
“By pre-loading Google TalkBack onto the new device, we’ve enabled users to
start getting prompts the moment they take the phone out of the box and turn
it on.”
