I must admit, contrary to what Steve thinks, that Android is much less
responsive with Talkback than iOS is on an iPhone. If I double-tap on iOS,
it happens. If I do the same with Android, it nearly always doesn't, and I
have to do it again.
I sympathise with you Tony, it isn't for me either I'm afraid. Horses for
courses though. If Steve uses it all the time, then credit to him. But I
would have the phone in bits pretty soon if it were my only means of
carrying out tasks, I just hate it if I'm honest! (smile.)

Hi,
There's a well considered opinion <Smile>. Seriously though, I would be
interested to know in what way? I use it every day for all my business
needs, but I think you're a little lary of touch screens, like a lot of
keyboard users, and Android is certainly not great for keyboard use, but
then neither is iOS in all situations.
Generally though, Android is getting better and better and when N comes out
in May, there are some serious accessibility improvements, especially on the
web.
All the best
Steve

Sorry but I'm gradually getting to the point that in my considered opinion,
Android for the blind is a load of crap!
Can explain later if anyone is really interested.
Cheers,
Tony Sweeney.

Using marshmallow
1. I often find the swipe right and down gesture difficult to bring down the
notification shade. When I use two fingers to scroll the message comes up
announcing the notification screen but it keeps reverting back to the home
screen. Is there another method?
2. Having double tapped the overview button, is there a way to dismiss all
apps?
Thanks for any help.
