Accessibility Comments: 

AppleVis Editor Note: this app was submitted before Usability Ratings were introduced, so one has been chosen on the basis of the accessibility comments made by the original poster. If you have used this app, please post a comment to let us know if you agree with the Rating.

Original Comments: As I can see, the application is fully accessible. I was not sure, if terminal window will be read by VoiceOver, however program uses simple TextBox to display the terminal output and capture user's input, so everything is being read fine. The "controls" button needs to be pressed in order to display the keyboard. Also, wile reading the terminal output it is better tu switch VoiceOver to read line by line, that way everything is read properly.

For users of jailbreaks and OpenSSH, it is possible to ssh to 127.0.0.1 and you will get an access to iPhone's shell prompt. Works fine and fully accessible!

VoiceOver Performance: 

VoiceOver reads all page elements.

Button Labeling: 

All buttons are clearly labeled.

Usability: 

The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver and is easy to navigate and use.

Thanks for the update. It's been quite some time since this app was added to the Directory, so it's really useful to know that the accessibility information is still current.

#3 ssh-terminal on ipad mini?

Submitted by on

I wouldlike to know if this ssh-terminal works on ipad mini before I plunk down my life savings of five bucks, lol.
And, if you know, can ios 8.4 be jailbroken?
And will ssh-terminal work without the device being jailbroken?
Thanks.

#4 It will work on the iPad mini

Submitted by on

It will work on the iPad mini. That being said if you don't mind paying 3 bucks more, I would really strongly suggest you grab Prompt 2 as it has much nicer VO support. It automatically reads incoming text, so you can pretty fast with it in combination with braille screen input.
To your second question, there is a jailbreak for iOS 8.4, but not sure about 8.4.1. SSH terminal apps will work on non-jailbroken devices, but of course you ill be able to access only external servers, IE VPS's, but not a local shell of your iPad. That's because stock iOS doesn't actually run an SSH server.

#5 I also love prompt2 as well.

I also love prompt2 as well. I bought the bundle which is about $16 us.

Goodluck.

#6 cursor

Submitted by on

I don't think this app shows the cursor in a way voiceover can read it, I have not tried this app in a while, so if anyone knows different, please let me know.

#7 no cursor

Submitted by on

Definitely no cursor in prompt, so you can never edit a line nor use a program which requires a cursor.

#8 Actually there is a curser in

Submitted by on

Actually there is a curser in prompt. I use this all the time. You just have to up and down arrow with either the on screen keyboard or your bluetooth one.

#9 Fantastic, works really well

Submitted by on

Based on the recommendation, I have downloaded and used this app.
Does not disappoint, works fantastic with voice-over.
Thank you

#10 Prompt2 split screen is yucky

Submitted by on

I was a huge fan of prompt2 till they introduced the new split screen, it is now yucky, hard to use with voice-over.
