Hi guys, I have been doing some accessibility testing at work on mobile devices for web pages (we have iPhones and Samsung S10s). I've got a pretty good handle on how TalkBack and VoiceOver work thanks to having seen my fiance use TalkBack a lot over the years. I've even set up the accessibility button on my phone so I can turn TalkBack on quickly whenever I need it to test something.
Yesterday evening I accidentally hit the TalkBack button while out with my fiance and he noticed that I was using the default Samsung voice rather than the Google voice. So my question is - which do you use? I am using British voices if that helps.
I noticed that Samsung voice is mucking up the pronunciation of some pretty common words on the web page, but is fine with the same words on WhatsApp. The iPhone and NVDA also handle the same words fine. So I'm trying to work out if this is a TalkBack issue or because the voice is stupid. Any advice would be useful.
Finally. When I open the keyboard to type in a form field, and I'm done typing, there isn't always a button to hide the keyboard on Android. Is there a gesture I can use to make it go away? Or do I just need to manually select the web page again and swipe through to find the correct field?
Thanks guys. I hope these questions are not dumb.
