the search engine or the browser. This menu gives you an interesting access point to all the permissions you
have granted to Google. Take a look at the Google Account dashboard.

Text-to-speech output
Controls how quickly Android talks to you when converting text to speech and allows you to control
language output. This is an interesting option if you want to learn a new language since you can hear in
another language what you are reading in your current language.
Mouse/Trackpad
When you use an external mouse or the RS mouse feature, this setting allows you to set the sensitivity and
responsiveness of the mouse.
Backup and Reset
This selection allows you to back-up your data to a Google server and revert to factory data settings.
You can back up settings and other data associated with one or more of your accounts, which is recommended if
for any reason you need to replace or factory-reset your device.
These options are available:
Speech
Back up my data. If you check this option, a wide variety of your personal data is backed up automatically, such
as app data, Wi-Fi passwords, and other settings.
Backup account. Displays the Google accounts whose information gets backed up. You must sign in with one
or more of these accounts on a new or reset device to retrieve the associated information.
To add a new account, touch Backup account > Add account.
Automatic restore. Check this option to restore settings and other data when you reinstall an app. This feature
requires that you are backing up your data with your Google Account and that the app is using the backup
service.
Factory data reset. Touch this option, then Reset tablet or Reset phone to erase all your personal data from
internal storage, including information about your Google Account, any other accounts, your system and app
settings, any downloaded applications, and your music, photos, videos, and other files.
After resetting your device, you need to re-enter the same information requested when you first set up your
device. If you have been backing up your data to a Google account, an option during the setup process allows you
to restore it.
If you're using a tablet with multiple users, only the owner can see the Backup & Reset options.
