Hi,
Yes it does. And the two finger method of turning it on out of the box works
too. So you just switch on, wait for about 30 seconds, then put two fingers
slightly apart on roughly but not accurately, the centre of the screen and wait
for it to talk. It's about four seconds.
All the best
Steve

Hi,
You no longer have to check explore by touch, it will be turned on
automagically for you when Talkback is. You will then be put into a very nice
Talkback tutorial.
I believe the Moto G is in Tesco for 99 quid Sim-free. That is a game changer,
probably one of the cheapest accessible phones for the blind out of the box.
All the best

Debs,
Wehn I went into Testco's to enquire about the Hudl, they weren't yet in, but I
and a tech support guy got the accessibility working on a Samsung tablet that
must work much the same. I think you'll find they'd get it working for you if
you went to your local Tesco. The guy said he'd certainly learned something,
but at least he was willing to learn! It's still unusual to find anyone who
knows about accessibility in shops.
If the Hudl is unused and fresh out of the box, try switching it on, then
holding a couple of fingers against the screen until it starts talking. If it's
already been set up, get someone to go to the Settings menu, Accessibility, and
make sure Talkback is checked. I think you also have to check Explore by Touch.
Same sort of thing if you go for a Moto G phone, which is about the same price
as the Hudl.
Once you've got one of these devices, there's plenty of help available on
various lists, and there are more and more websites about Android, too.
Vince.

Hi
All this talk of Kindles etc has got me thinking about venturing into the murky
world of touch screens. The thought has terrified me up til now but they seem
to be the way to go these days.
I know nothing about Android or I Phones so was wondering if anyone could
suggest a reasonably priced place to start.
These Hudl things sound interesting, so would I have to go and get some help
setting it up?
Any views welcome. Many thanks.
Debs
