Navigate Your Phone with TalkBack
Use TalkBack if you need to navigate your phone by spoken feedback. When you touch the screen,
your phone vibrates and gives you an audible response so you know what you are touching.
Turn TalkBack On
1. With two fingers, swipe down from the status bar, and then touch
.
2. Touch Accessibility > TalkBack.
3. Touch the ON/OFF switch.
4. Read the TalkBack disclaimer and then touch OK. You’ll be prompted to enable Explore by
touch, which provides an audible description of what you’re touching on the screen.
A short tutorial explaining how to use TalkBack will begin playing after you turn on TalkBack.
Note: TalkBack works best if you turn off auto-rotate and turn on Explore by touch.
Use TalkBack Gestures
When TalkBack is turned on and the Explore by touch setting is selected, the regular touch gestures
are replaced by the TalkBack gestures.
Note: HTC gestures such as 3-finger swiping may not be available when TalkBack gestures are
enabled.
