True Quentin I know i got my nephew to look at settings in my phone so he turned off talkback. And wen he turned it back on i only had speech and no vibrations or feed back so I found it hard to use.
So he turned the touch back on and all was good again. cheers Michael.-----Original Message----- From: Quentin Christensen

If that is the case, it will read out things but only once you've activated / gone into them. Explore by touch is what you use to either swipe from one item to the next so you can double tap on the one you want, or drag your finger around the screen and it will announce what you move your finger over. To turn explore by touch on, you need to (you might need sighted help as it's tricky if explore by touch isn't working): - Open settings - go to Accessibility - Talkback - Settings Then some of the key options are: - Keyboard echo - does pretty much what it says, reads back characters as you type them. - Speak caller ID - reads out the name or phone number as you receive a call so you can decide whether to answer it. - Sound feedback - non spoken audio feedback for things like it beeps in a higher pitch as you scroll towards the end of a list or a lower pitch as you move back up towards the top. - Explore by touch - as mentioned above, lets you drag your finger around the screen and tells you what you are over - very useful! There are others but they are the main ones which control what Talkback tells you when it's enabled (and of course before you go into the talkback settings there is a switch to turn talkback on or off - you kind of want that on for it to work ;) Regards Quentin.

Hi Quentin I wonder if he means he does not have touch explaration on and only has talk back on.cheers Michael. -----Original Message----- From: Quentin Christensen Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2013 8:40 PM To: vi-android@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vi-android] Re: nexus 5 kitkat Hi, I'm not quite sure I understand the problem you are having? You do need to turn talkback on for any device - except one I came across recently which was specifically setup with Talkback already on (I posted to the group about it) - usually once you've turned it on, it will stay on until you turn it off, even if you restart your phone. If it's not working, maybe check that you haven't muted the sound? Regards Quentin.
