2.2.4. Accessibility

Android contains many accessibility features to help people with various disabilities use their devices. For example, people with visual and physical disabilities can use Android’s TalkBack to allow a device to speak screen text or text that you provide to help them understand the purpose and contents of a GUI component. Android’s Explore by Touch enables the user to touch the screen to hear TalkBack speak what’s on the screen near the touch. Section 2.7 shows how to enable these features and how to configure your app’s GUI components for accessibility.
