TalkBack service with AI on device.

TalkBack is a helpful feature built into Android phones and tablets. It is designed to assist people who have low vision or cannot see the screen well. TalkBack makes it easier to use your device by speaking out what is on the screen and responding to simple gestures.

Benefits

When TalkBack is on, touching the screen will make your device say the name of whatever you touch. This means you don't have to see the screen perfectly to know what you are interacting with. You can explore your device by moving your finger around the screen, and TalkBack will follow your finger, telling you what it finds. It also gives spoken updates about important things like calls, battery level, and if your phone is on silent. You can answer calls with a simple swipe or a double-tap.

Use Cases

TalkBack is useful for anyone who has trouble seeing the screen. You can use it to read text, navigate through apps, and even check your phone's status like notifications and battery life. It also works with keyboards and allows for voice input, making it possible to type and control your device using your voice. You can use voice commands to tell TalkBack to read specific parts of the screen or go to different screens like the home screen. If you need help, you can just say "Help" to get a list of commands.

Vibes

Users can adjust TalkBack to work best for them. You can change how fast the speech sounds and how high or low the voice pitch is. You can also customize the gestures you use to control the device. There are tutorials and help sections available if you need guidance on how to use or set up TalkBack. You can even turn TalkBack on or off using Google Assistant by saying "OK Google, turn on TalkBack" or "OK Google, turn off TalkBack." There is also a shortcut using the volume keys for quick access.
