tested with BlindShell and are considered to be usable. However, as all applications
in this folder are third party applications, we don't guarantee full accessibility or
functionality. Two styles can be used to control the Android applications: BlindShell
gestures or Android TalkBack. You can switch between those styles in the menu
"Android applications" - "Advanced options".
BlindShell gestures
The first control style is based on the control of the BlindShell phone itself. Text is
input via BlindShell keyboard and following gestures are used to control the
applications:
•
Short tap with one finger on the right side of the screen will move you to the
next element on the screen.
•
Short tap with one finger on the left side of the screen will move you to the
previous element on the screen.
•
Long press with one finger is used to select or confirm.
•
Long press with two fingers is used to go to the previous screen, to cancel a
selection or leaving the keyboard.
•
A short tap with two fingers will read the last information or currently selected
element.
•
Swiping one finger from the top to the bottom of the screen will bring up a
global context menu with other options (go to the top, go to the bottom,
continuous reading, repeat the last utterance, spell the last utterance).
•
Swiping one finger from the bottom to the top of the screen will bring up a
local context menu with other options (this function will be mostly used in the
Internet browser).
Voice call in WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger
Voice calls in WhatsApp and Messenger are supported. An incoming call can be
accepted by a power button short press and rejected by the two-finger long-press
gesture. A call that's in progress can be hung up by a power button short press or
two-finger long-press gesture.
Android TalkBack
The second control style is a native screen reader of the Android OS - TalkBack.
When you choose this control style a native Android keyboard will be used for text
input as well. The TalkBack control style is described on the following support
