Hi Kevin,
You can still turn it on in settings after setup. Yes you need sighted help,
but if you want a demo in the shop, it is easy to do.
All the best

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.
