TalkBack is a pre-installed screen reader from Google. It uses

spoken feedback to describe events, such as notifications,
and the results of your actions, such as opening an app.

Explore by Touch is a system feature that works with

TalkBack, allowing you to touch your device’s screen and hear
what’s under your finger via spoken feedback. This feature is
helpful to people with no vision.

Accessibility settings let you modify your device’s display

and sound options, such as increasing the text size, changing
the speed at which text is spoken and more.

If you have low vision and don’t plan to use Explore by Touch,
visit

support.google.com/android

to see Help content formatted

for sighted users. You can make reading and navigating this
material easier by increasing the text size – just open Chrome,
go to Menu > Settings > Accessibility, and drag the slider to
adjust the text size.
