Android Low Vision: Reading Mode

Today we'll look at Google's Reading Mode app. This is a free app that makes longer text like articles and emails easier to read. For looking at the text, we can adjust the displays, font, color spacing and more.

And for listening to it, we can adjust the reading, voice and speed. To get started, go to the Google Play Store, search for Reading Mode by Google and it should come right up or check out the resources by scrolling down below the workshop to find a link. Reading mode is already installed on this phone, so let's find out how to set it up so we can access it whenever we need it.

Let's begin by heading over to the settings app, which is right here on our home screen. First we'll touch our settings app to open it, and next we'll scroll down and tap on accessibility to open the accessibility settings.

Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us, we'd like to learn more about you, your email address name, how you heard about Hadley, and your relationship to vision loss learning more will give us a better understanding of how to personalize Hadley just for you. And don't worry, everything you share with us online will be kept safe and secure. Of course, if you'd prefer to talk through these questions, we are just a phone call away at 800-323-4238.

Taking these few steps saves your preferences so you can continue right where you left off and track your progress every time you log on. Plus it connects you to the Hadley community and helps sustain our funding to keep Hadley free of charge. And last but not least, it gives you direct access to the Hadley team. So now is your chance to sign up and join us.
