TalkBack and native apps on android (self.Blind)
submitted by Kedoalbino
Hello my fellow optically occluded comrades. I am an Accessibility engineer. and I had a question about native Android apps and links in those apps. for those of us who use Android would you call it expected behavior for Android to stop and read links mid-sentence and wait for a swipe? Or to continue to read the entire paragraph and then, you as the user switch to your links menu?

Don't put inline links in your paragraphs. Work on making your copy and overall UX function so that a link can be placed at the end separate of the paragraph and labeled properly, or utilize hint text so a screen reader user will hear "Double tap to learn more" when focusing on an interactive element.

Greetings, Actually I would expect to be able to control this behavior in settings but that isn't an option with mobile screen readers yet, so, I think the former, stopping and waiting for a swipe to move to the next element, is more the expected behavior. I hope this helps.
