Hello Quentin,
Thanks. I finally found the settings of the phone and as you rightly
pointed out accessibility is way down the list; in fact it's the
second to the last item in this list.
The user of the phone will rely solely on talkback and so won't need
the large-print option enabled. Although I'm yet to locate talkback on
the phone, I found Pico to be the only available speech engine in the
'use as default speech engine' section of the 'language and input
settings'. Pico gives a spoken feedback when you click to hear an
example of the speech. How can that be possible without talkback?
As an alternative, I tried to download/update talkback (in case it's
already installed), but the phone won't connect to the internet via my
wifi here in the house. It keeps bringing up a notification that
authentication failed. THere's no SIM card on the phone yet.
Thank you.
