Android TalkBack: Reading and Navigation

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.

TalkBack is such a little chatter box. It's reading every single thing we do on our phone, which is really pretty cool, isn't it.

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.
