I'm not a developer and not a member of a screen reader development project
as yet.
I hope that other parties maybe already took my ideas and work on it.
Perhaps these persons will contact you to collaborate for a submit to the
challenge.
I wish you success for your work respectively the challenge
and I would be pleased to hear about the results of your afforts.
If I find out that other parties have equal or similar intentions I will add
them to the open letter and post here but maybe they perhaps don't want to
become public before the end of challenge.
Hopefully there will be an Android Screen Reader Project soon. I try to push
this, I'm not interested in money but in results.
