Android Accessibility Suite user reviews :
For phone/computer illiterates- not really. Sometimes a bit of extra help is needed. If this works, for me, it should work for most folks. The wording is clear as are the instructions. Whether the motifications are usefull; can’t speak to that. Have had no need for any. Yes, the English is well presented, in correct english verbiage. Check it out for yourselves. That is what i am doing.
Its excelent and very useful but somemore features can be added. We cannot read documents and texts easily via external keyboard. If nevigating through a document in paragraphs, lines, sentences, words and characters using some keys then it would be more useful. It is not so comfortable to always swipe up and down to go to character word etc. We also can’t read from current cursor. So, this is in brief i’ m sharing my openion. Kindly have a look into the matter.
The Select To Speak button colour changed in a recent update, and is a lot harder to see now. It’s used by a lot of people with low vision, and has made our devices a lot less accessible. Please either change it back or at least give us the option to do so in Settings.
Excellent tool for the disabled and the impaired. Whilst I personally have no need for this application, it’s awesome to see that Google is making attempts to cater to the impaired and the disabled… This sort of functionality – whether you use it or not – is quite literally “core” functionality in modern technology, so it’s great to see that Google has not forgotten this
Since the last update, my talk back keeps turning off. I am legally blind, and cannot function without it! Please fix immediately!!!
