To use the accessibility options, open Settings > System > Accessibility.
Here are some options for people with visual impairments:
TalkBack is a screen reader from Google that comes with your Android phone and tablet. It uses spoken
feedback to describe events, such as notifications, and the results of your actions, such as opening an
app. When TalkBack is on, you have to double-tap to select something. TalkBack settings let you control
the nature of TalkBack speech, feedback, and touch exploration (Explore by touch).
Captions: You can turn on captions for your device and specify the language, text size, and style. For some
apps, you should turn on the captions in the app itself.
Explore by touch is a system feature that works with TalkBack, allowing you to touch your device’s screen
and hear what’s under your finger via spoken feedback. It is helpful to people with low or no vision. In
TalkBack settings, you can change the settings of Explore by touch, like managing gestures and how lists
are scrolled.
System and display options include increasing the text size, changing the speed at which text is spoken,
colour inversion, colour correction, and high contrast text.
You can also try magnification gestures, which allow you to zoom in and out, as well as temporarily
magnify what’s under your finger. To try magnification gestures, go to Settings > System >
Accessibility > Magnification gestures.
