About TalkBack and Explore by touch

TalkBack describes everything that you touch, select, or activate. You can set options in TalkBack to adjust the volume of the TalkBack voice or turn on feedback (sound or vibration) for touches.

Another option is to use TalkBack with Explore by touch. This changes how the phone responds to your touch, so you need to learn new ways to navigate the phone. When you touch an app or icon, you first hear the name of the item. Then you can decide whether or not to use it.

Set TalkBack options

1. Drag the status bar down with two fingers and touch  Settings > Accessibility.
2. Touch TalkBack and turn it on.

3. Touch Settings and set the options you want:

   • Speech volume to make the TalkBack voice quieter.
   • Speak caller ID to hear who’s calling.
   • Sound feedback and Vibration feedback to get more feedback for touches.
   • Manage shortcut gestures to learn about using gestures to navigate your phone. Also, customize by assigning preferred actions or buttons to gestures.
   • Explore by touch to hear information before using items.

Tips for using Explore by touch

• Slide a finger around. Or touch to select an icon, button, or app. Listen to its name. Then double-touch anywhere on the screen to use the selected item.
• Using one finger, swipe left/right to move to the previous/next item or listen to the previous/next text.
• Using two fingers, drag up/down or across to scroll.
