About this app

Android Accessibility Suite is a collection of accessibility apps that help you use your Android device eyes-free or with a switch device.

Android Accessibility Suite includes:
• Accessibility Menu: Use this large on-screen menu to lock your phone, control volume and brightness, take screenshots and more.
• Select to Speak: Select items on your screen and hear them read aloud.
• TalkBack screen reader: Get spoken feedback, control your device with gestures and type with the on-screen braille keyboard.

To get started:
1. Open your device's Settings app.
2. Select Accessibility.
3. Select Accessibility Menu, Select to Speak or TalkBack.

Android Accessibility Suite requires Android 6 (Android M) or later. To use TalkBack for Wear, you'll need Wear OS 3.0 or later.

Permissions notice

• Accessibility Service: Because this app is an accessibility service, it can observe your actions, retrieve window content and observe text that you type.
• Notifications: When you allow this permission, TalkBack can notify you about updates.

Talkback is a disappointment. Yes, it is incredibly beneficial for the blind, restoring basic function, and in that sense, it's a success as an accessibility feature. However, as the only built-in text to speech option for android, it is an incredible failure. There are more use-cases for text to speech than just reading every title, widget, icon, and finally textbox on the screen. Those features that are great for the blind make it utterly unusable for everyone else.

I'm pretty sure this is being used for malicious reasons. It has some wonderful features for those who need it. But I believe security-wise some things have been overlooked or ignored because my device shows usage of features I have never used in my Chrome logs. I've never used a switch device or know how. So I'm not positive about this, but based on odd things happening on my device that shouldn't and finding that, I believe features can be used for device access. And not just your own.

Dragging around the Text to speak button is really annoying and it feels like it's always in the way. I'd rather it be on the bottom as a button (especially since I don't use gesture controls). Also, during migraines, it would be really helpful if I could put a green color filter on. Unfortunately, it looks like the only color filter options are for color blindness, so I can't do a single color filter easily. If those 2 things were fixed, I'd switch this to 5 stars.
