Speech with an Android Phone
|
Ron Canazzi
Hi Group,
My wife has an Android phone. She is having difficulties with it. It is an off brand--something called an Alcatel track phone. I have an iPhone and i have become quite proficient with it. I figure that if I had speech for this android, and with a bit of research, I might be able to help her. How does one turn on speech on this kind of phone? What is the screen reader for this Alcatel Android track phone? I would look up basic command for the screen reader once it is turned on. Maybe they have a help system like the Voice Over on the iPhone. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- They Ask Me If I'm Happy; I say Yes. They ask: "How Happy are You?" I Say: "I'm as happy as a stow away chimpanzee on a banana boat!"

I believe the voice over feature on an android phone is called talk back. It could also be something called voice assistant.

There are screen readers either under development, or making the rounds in
Android Land. For now, the major one is Talkback developed by Google itself! VoiceAssistant will only be found on Samsung phones particularly its high-end ones! I don't have an Alcatel toy; however, for a start, what have you done to get your wife's toy working? If nothing, turn it on, wait about 30 seconds or so, then place two fingers on the face of the toy and wait till speech comes on then follow the prompts. Do you perchance know which Android version the toy runs on? Ok, if referring to your device as a toy robs off wrongly, pardon me, one of my buddies and I consider these tools as toys and, if you've read any of my notes to the list, you may have heard me refer to My Shiny Android Toys! Private contact welcomed if I can help further; else, post your questions in this space. Sincerely, Olusegun Denver, Colorado

Ron. If it's a flip, pushbutton phone, it does not have talk back. I don't know what it's called. It just says screenreader in the menu. Unfortunately, I think you may have to get a sighted person to turn it on. Pam.

Depends on the version of Android.

8.0 (Oreo) or later you would press and hold the volume buttons for three seconds. Previous to Oreo you would press and hold two fingers on the screen until Talkback comes on. This is during the first time startup.
