Enabling Google Talkback

AudioCodes’ Native Teams Android devices feature Google TalkBack, an accessibility service that allows blind and low-vision users to interact with their devices by giving them spoken feedback so they can use their devices without looking at the screen.

The feature improves the experience of these users.

➢

To enable the feature:

Open the Accessibility screen (Settings > Device settings > Accessibility).

Select the TalkBack option shown in the preceding figure.

Click OK to switch the feature on as shown in the preceding figures. Listen to the audio tutorial that begins playing. The tutorial explains how to interact with the device.

●

After TalkBack is switched on, operations are performed by touching to select and then double-touching to activate.

●

To turn up the volume, touch the + key on the phone and in the volume pop-up shown in the figure below, touch the slider to select it; audio announces what level you're at. Double-touch the slider at the level you want.

●

To switch off TalkBack, re-access the Accessibility screen and then switch the feature off the same way.

After the tutorial, from the 'home' screen open (for example) the Calls screen; audio announces what you did; the Calls screen opens.

➢

To interact with the Calls screen:

In the Calls screen shown in the preceding figure, select the Recent tab; audio informs you what you selected.

Select a listed call as shown in the preceding figure; audio informs you whether the call was outgoing or incoming and to / from whom it was made and the day on which it was made.

Double-touch the listed call; three icons below it appear.

Select the phone icon; audio informs you that you can activate the person's profile. Double-touch the icon; the person's profile screen opens displaying their name, position, email, hyperlinked work phone number and hyperlinked mobile phone number.

Select the star icon; audio informs you that you can add to Favorites; double-touch to activate it.
