TalkBack is an Accessibility Service that helps blind and vision-impaired users
interact with their devices more easily.
This application adds spoken, audible, and vibration feedback to your device.
It comes pre-installed on many devices so you won't be able to install this if
that is the case. Developer-built apks can be downloaded from the website if the
version that was pre-installed needs updating.
It's only activated if you explicitly turn on Accessibility:
- Go to Settings
- Select Accessibility
- (Android 3.2 and earlier) Enable Accessibility checkbox
- Enable TalkBack checkboxes
- (Android 4.0 and later) Enable explore-by-touch

FAQ or the
