Android TalkBack: Phone Calls

Hi, my name is Ricky Enger. And today we're gonna talk about how to use our phone for making and receiving calls. 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, the gesture for answering and hanging up our calls isn't gonna work because the phone is set up with a version of TalkBack that's a little different than what we have here. We do have some really great resources showing exactly what to do if the steps here 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.

You know, it's kind of funny that we use our phones for so many different things, and then we think: Oh, yeah, it can make and receive phone calls too. So yeah, that's what we're gonna talk about today.

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.
