In this episode of Double Tap, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece welcome John Dyer, a TalkBack expert, to review TalkBack 15 and discuss the latest updates in Android accessibility. • John shares insights on the new features, including the integration of Google Gemini for AI-powered image descriptions, giving blind and low-vision users more autonomy when navigating inaccessible content. • “The biggest new feature in TalkBack 15 is the ability to describe images and on-screen content using Google Gemini,” John explains. “Instead of needing a separate app like Be My Eyes, you can now use TalkBack directly to get descriptions of anything within focus.” • The discussion also covers: • ✅ New Braille display gestures • ✅ Improved punctuation settings • ✅ Changes to continuous reading behavior • John also highlights a challenge with Samsung devices, explaining that Samsung ships its own version of TalkBack, which can prevent users from enabling Google’s version. “If you want Google’s TalkBack, you need to remove Samsung’s version using Android Debug Bridge (ADB),” he explains. • Looking ahead, John hopes TalkBack will evolve to match VoiceOver’s customization options, particularly per-app settings. “Right now, TalkBack settings apply system-wide, whereas VoiceOver lets you customize per app. That would be a great addition.” • Learn more: https://support.google.com/accessibil... • Subscribe for more: / @doubletapvideo • Follow on: • X (formerly Twitter): / doubletaponair • Instagram: / doubletaponair • Email [email protected] • About Double Tap • Hosted by the insightful duo, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece, Double Tap is a treasure trove of information for anyone who's blind or partially sighted and has a passion for tech.
