Hi Bill,
The earliest version of Android that had Talk Back on it that worked
decently was 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The gesture system on that version
with Talk Back is distinctly different from later Android versions. Most
notably, activating an item was not done by flicking and double tapping
but by exploring the screen to find the item you want to activate and
then lifting your finger and tapping right on that item once. Which
gesture system is better is completely a matter of preference. Some
folks find double tapping annoying and some prefer it. I believe that on
Android 4.0, the scrolling with Talk Back running is accomplished with
one-finger gestures as if it were not running, i.e. flicking up or down
with one finger or left to right with one finger to scroll. Flicking
from item to item was not available in 4.0.

I wasn't sure what to put in the subject line but I hope this works. I
had an Android phone and one problem I had was when I would try to
call our bus company for scheduling information You get one of those
systems apun answering you get a message saying press one for one
thing and 2 for another and so on. I had a samsung phone and I could
not get it to work with that system. The problem might have been me. I
also have a system like that with our bank. I am thinking about
getting another android phone Also, what was the earlist version that
had talk back?
