1. Voice Access helps anyone who has difficulty manipulating a touch screen (e. g. due to paralysis, tremor, or temporary injury) use their Android device by voice. - Basic navigation (e. g. - Controlling the current screen (e. g. - Text editing and dictation (e. g.
2. Voice Access includes a tutorial which introduces the most common voice commands (starting Voice Access, tapping, scrolling, basic text editing, and getting help).
3. You can use the Google Assistant to start Voice Access by saying "Hey Google, Voice Access".
4. You can also tap either the Voice Access notification or a blue Voice Access button and start talking.
5. To disable Voice Access completely, go to Settings > Accessibility > Voice Access and turn off the switch.
6. To pause Voice Access temporarily, just say "stop listening".
7. This app uses the AccessibilityService API to help users with motor impairments.
8. You can also say "Help" any time to see a short list of commands.
9. To do this, you’ll need to enable "Hey Google" detection.
10. It uses the API to collect information about the controls on the screen and activate them based on the user’s spoken instructions.
1. Unfortunately The Voice access app will start listening to you and we'll never stop, and you will pick up your phone from your pocket 20 minutes later and realise it's been listening to you and typing out all your words and conversations this entire time.
2. The touch screen is the dumbest and most clumsiest idea for input.This app does have great potential, but it has one really annoying downside: The auto-hide control for YouTube does not work with Voice Access enabled.
3. Yes, I understand that updating the app resets permissions, but I have auto update off... I miss the good old days of when the off button worked.Looks like another dead Google experiment, since it hasn't been updated in 9 months now.
4. It also takes over the "Ok, Google" functionality, which means that you lose access to the Google Assistant functionality when this is active.I stumbled across this app when Bixby upgraded and it used to be WONDERFUL! I am paralyzed from the next down and can only do commands by speech.
5. I tried every setting, option, voice training and nothing stops Access from only hearing sound played from the video.
6. As I have mobility issues and cannot always use my hands and fingers, I was hoping this would work as well as Apple's voice command.
7. You have to press the "X" button right next to the full screen button every time you want the playback controls to disappear, which is incredibly annoying and makes YouTube less enjoyable to use.
8. Even the controls listed on Google's site don't work (like scroll left/right) and it often has a hard time hearing me.
9. For safety's sake, she needs to use the phone with her voice at any time.
10. I sincerely hope these bugs are fixed soon so I can update this review and get better use out of my phone!Please fix the scroll up/down problem with this app! You can't truly use it hands-free if this remains broken.
11. Also the voice recognition seems to be using a different engine...it is a lot worse than the dictation I'm using to write this.
