Hi,

 

Do you know what version of Android it runs on?

 

In any event, go into Settings with sighted help, then Accessibility, then
tap Talkback if it is there and simply turn it on.  You'll land in the
Talkback tutorial.

 

if it isn't there, again with sighted help, go to Google Play Store and
download Tlakback, it is free.

 

it will be there if you are on Android 4.0 or above.  If you are on 4.0,
youre experience won't be so nice as if you were on 4.1 or higher.

 

All the best

 

Steve

Subject: [access-uk] Enabling speech on an EE Kestrel Smartphone.

 

Hi Everyone.

 

For you Android experts, i have an EE Kestrel phone which was given to me as
part of an upgrade offer, my interest mainly was in the price plan so they
gave me the cheapest phone they had in their catalogue.  I no very little
about Android, however this phone is based on the Huawei Ascend G6 and has a
proprietary interface.  I have two questions, firstly can accessibility be
enabled on this phone in the form of talkback, if so how, and secondly has
anyone had experience of the Huawei interface, does it work with talkback
well and is there anything I can do about it if not?

 

All the best, Ibrahim.
