Pressing OK will then start the selected application and Talkback will take over the Voice Mode interface.
The screens will then no longer be optimized for the elastomer keypad overlay and you will need to use the
tactile screen to interact with your apps (using the gestures described above). You should therefore remove
the overlay to use the Android standard platform. Pressing the Home button will get you back to the Voice
Mode interface.
By starting the Google Play Store application, you will be able to download the Android applications you
want among hundreds of thousands of applications available on the store.
All the new applications you install will automatically appear in the Android applications list and you will be
able to start them from the Voice Mode interface.

Change interfaces: learn how to go from
Voice Mode
to Android
It is very important that you master the change of interface between Voice Mode interface and standard
Android.
The default settings enable to switch to the standard Android interface from Voice Mode only by pressing
the Sleep-Wake button for 2 seconds and selecting line “5-Exit Voice Mode”. You can then very easily go
back to the Voice Mode interface by pressing the Home button twice quickly.
For more experienced users who would want to change interfaces on a regular basis, it is possible to make
this change easier by having the same switch procedure in the two interfaces and changing interfaces by
pressing the Home button twice quickly. To allow this, from the Home screen go to “9-Settings” then “2-
Android interactions”, then “1-Home button double click”.
When activated, the double click on the Home button changes the default settings for the interface on your
phone. For example, if you were in the Voice Mode interface, a simple click on the Home button opens the
Voice Mode Home Screen whereas a quick double click will start the Android standard interface. From this
moment on, if you click on the Home button again, you will come back to the Android standard Home
Screen. To go back to Voice Mode, you will need to click twice quickly on the Home button.

Set up a Google account to synchronize your contacts and calendars
What is interesting with Android is that you can easily synchronize your Gmail account with your phone so
you can easily access your contacts, calendars and emails.
For technical reasons we were unfortunately unable to integrate those settings in Voice Mode.
Nevertheless, we encourage you to synchronize your information through the standard Android interface
either by yourself using TalkBack or with the help of someone around you.
To synchronize or create your Google account, go to the Android interface then select the application
button just above the Home button and find the Settings icon. In the Settings go to “Accounts- Add
account”, select Google and enter your Google email account information or create a new one. Through
this action the Contacts and Calendars applications will be synchronized with your Gmail data.
For the Email application, you have to enter your email address and password manually in the interface as
explained previously in this guide.
