Smartphones are designed to be easy to use, but one size does not fit all. Fonts might be hard to read, colors hard to distinguish, or sounds hard to hear.[br][br]You may have issues with tapping and double tapping on icons and other gestures. Android has a bunch of accessibility features that make it easier to see and interact with your screen and receive notifications.[br]Under settings, you'll find a section for accessibility. How it's organized will depend on the version of Android that you're running.[br][br]- VISION [br][br]VOICE ASSISTANT: This feature helps you navigate your screen. The assistant will tell you what you can interact with on the screen. You can tap items to hear what they are and then double tap them to complete the action. When you enable voice assistant, a tutorial automatically walks you through how it works. It also outlines which functions can't be used while the assistant is enabled.[br][br][br]TEXT-TO-SPEECH: If you need help reading content on your mobile device, you can use text-to-speech to have it read to you. You can select the language, speed (speech rate), and service. Depending on your setup, this will a choice of Google, your manufacturer, and any third party apps you've downloaded.[br][br]ACCESSIBILITY SHORTCUT: Use this to turn on accessibility features in two steps: press and hold the power key until you hear a sound or feel a vibration, then touch and hold with two fingers until you hear audio confirmation.[br][br]VOICE LABEL: This feature helps you interact with objects outside of your mobile device.

You can also temporarily magnify what's under your finger by triple tapping and holding, then you can drag your finger to explore different parts of the screen.[br][br]SCREEN COLORS: You can change your display to grayscale, negative colors, or use color adjustment. This setting measures how you see colors with a quick test, and then determines whether you need an adjustment. If you do, you can use your camera or an image to make the adjustments.[br][br]- HEARING [br][br]SOUND DETECTORS: You can enable alerts for when the phone hears a baby crying or a doorbell. For the doorbell, it's best if placed within 3 meters and you can record your own doorbell so your device can recognize it, which is cool. For detecting a baby crying, it's best to keep your device within 1 meter of your baby with no background noise.[br][br]NOTIFICATIONS: You can set your phone to flash the camera light when you receive a notification or when alarms sound.[br][br]OTHER SOUND SETTINGS: Options including turning off all sound, improving the sound quality for use with hearing aids. You can also adjust the left and right sound balance for headphones and switch to mono audio when using one earphone.[br][br]SUBTITLES: You can turn on subtitles from Google or from your phone manufacturer (for videos, etc.) can choose the language and style for each.[br][br]-DEXTERITY AND INTERACTION [br][br]UNIVERSAL SWITCH can use customizable switches to interact with the device.

You can set a time limit if you want it to turn off automatically and can also prevent blocking the power key, volume key, and keyboard.[br][br]- MORE SETTINGS [br][br]DIRECTION LOCK: lets you unlock the screen by swiping up, down, left, or right in a series of four to eight directions. You can also turn on vibration feedback, sound feedback, show directions (arrows) and read drawn directions aloud.
