The Android operating system for smart phones offers an increasing variety of accessibility features for users with vision, hearing and speech impairments. For example, TalkBack, Android’s screen reader for phones, enables users to interact with their device tactually and through spoken feedback. The screen reader describes what you are doing and speaks aloud when alerts and notifications arrive. A simple description of Android accessibility features can be found in an article from The Times of India. Read about it here.
