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.
• For TalkBack, you can also press and hold both volume keys.

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
• Phone: Android Accessibility Suite observes the phone state so it can adapt announcements to your call status.
• 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.

Note: Switch Access has been removed from the Android Accessibility Suite. You can download the Switch Access app instead (g.co/play/switchaccess).

Select to speak almost all the time gets st. St. dr. Dr. wrong when it reads it. How am I supposed to get this to stop reading the background that I can't even see, for instance when I'm in a browser and I have it open up another screen and I select to speak it reads everything in the background that I can't see first before it reads the foreground.

Worst app possible! Was using Maps to get home and it turned on making phone useless. Had stop for directions twice and drove miles and miles out of the way. Makes me want to sue Google for loss time, wasted gas, and punitive damages! And it cannot be uninstalled - absolutely infuriating! Had to use my home PC to find out how to turn it off. Good thing I didn't have to make any 911 calls during that time - worst case is someone could have died since I could not call an ambulance for example.

The "Select to Speech" is a necessary feature for my day-to-day usage of my phone. The most recent update has introduced a new bug. Now several times a day I need to force quit and restart the Accessibility Suite due to a dead zone on the touch screen corresponding to the position of the hidden "Select to Speech" menu. I have reported this bug to the developers but I have not yet received any kind of response.
