Yes but this will only work once, you can't switch the screen reader off and enable it with a gesture like you can in Ios. OK it's a hardware switch with apple but at least you can do it. the way you describe can only be done once at the initial set-up.

It’s even more simple on JB, you simply put 2 fingers on the screen, hold for several seconds and the talkback should start up talking. *From:* Michael Ray <mailto:mike.ray@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> *Sent:* Tuesday, October 30, 2012 1:23 PM *To:* access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> *Subject:* [access-uk] Re: Accessibility on android tablets running JB Alastair, In Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), drawing a rectangle starting in the top left corner switches on accessibility options. I assume this is still the case in Jellybean. Steve, for one, can tell you more about this.

Are apps like BBC iplayer, youtube and kindle accessible? Any help would be great! I did try and ask these questions on a android specific list but as yet without response! Best to all!
