- Hi, my name is Ricky Enger. And today we're gonna check out our gestures for reading text with TalkBack. We're using a Google Pixel phone for our workshop here, but what we're learning should be pretty much the same for a lot of other Android phones as well. For some phones though, these reading gestures aren't gonna work because the phone is set up to use gestures with just one finger to do things. We have some really great resources showing exactly what to do if these reading gestures don't work for you. So go ahead and scroll down the workshop page and check out the Resources area to find that. Plus there's info on how to contact us if you need to.
