Android help (self.Blind)
submitted 1d ago by EvilChocolateCookie
Hi guys
Posting here because Lemmy and I are still fighting, and it seems to be winning. First time android user here as of yesterday, at least as it applies to modern android. The last thing I handled was a BrailleNote running KitKat. I figured out basic navigation and such, but for the advanced stuff I’m clueless. Please send over any tips you think I might want and or need. Software suggestions are also welcome

###r/Blind is back up but the struggle goes on. Until we have the same access to Reddit's content as our sighted friends we insist Reddit allows us to use the apps which meet our needs.

Go through and remap any gestures you do not like, and clear ones you do not want that are on things you'll use, ie I have left down and right up angles was copy last spoken and paste respectively instead of the default screen search and voice command, do the same with menus, and adjust verbosity and such to levels you like.

I could never get the hang of those swipe at an angle gestures even before. Is there a trick to it or something?
DHamlinMusic 1 points 1d ago
So in the past they were very picky about being exact right angles, now they care less about that and more just the direction your motion starts and ends with, so more quarter circle motion should work now.

I think there’s a website called blind android users or something.
There is definitely a email list but I don’t know exactly what it’s called.

I found the email list by accident earlier. Just waiting to be approved.

Cool :)

Now I’m just trying to learn what kinds of stuff I can customize. I’ve heard these things have a lot of customization options and I wanna play. I don’t have access to this particular platform on that phone.

I honestly don't know, I'm an apple user but this website might help: https://blindandroidusers.com/
There was another android site but I don't know its name and I've tried searching it for you with no luck.
