Android TalkBack: Navigating Websites

Hi, my name is Ricky Enger, and today we're gonna check out some great tips for getting around on websites using 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.

What we're doing today is actually gonna build off some concepts we learned in our workshop for three and four finger gestures, as well as the workshop where we talk about reading and navigating text. So if you haven't checked those out yet, they're really a great place to start. And just as we say in those workshops, here's a little reminder that every phone is a bit different. Some phones don't work with these three finger gestures that we're doing today.

So if that's what's going on with your phone, it's all good, because we have some great resources if you scroll down the workshop page here that tell you exactly what to do for your particular phone. There's info on gestures, as well as some tips on turning on the navigation bar. Yeah, there's always cool stuff in that resources area, so be sure and check it out.

Ed: Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us, we'd like to learn more about you, your name, email address, 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're 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 experts like me. Now, where were we?
