Twitter on Android (self.Blind)
submitted by sanya4
How do I make Twitter on Android phone accesssible? It doesn't feature simplified view and I had to squint to squire to read/like posts because it is time-comsuming to read on my built-in magnifier. Plus, I now have difficulty reading with my handheld omagni and my insurance will not cover another opto visit.

You should try Talkbackck or Select-to-Speak.
They will read stuff for you.
You can find them under accessibility. STS will let you control your phone like normal whereas Talkback is a full screen reader.

It is not featured on my Android (Verizon). But I do have Google voice on my keyboard. Will that tell me everything (including captions)?

If they're not available then you can download them from the Play Store.

By Google voice I take it you're referring to the microphone icon at the top right of your keyboard? That's only for speech to text and won't read anything to you.

What phone are you using? It may be too old or too weak to run those accessibility features properly. Decent accessibility is fairly recent on Android.
