To type in an edit box, you must press "Enter" to activate Edit Mode before you
can input text. To adjust slider controls, press “Backspace-Space-4” to increase
the slider value, and “Backspace-Space-1” to decrease a slider value”.
You can also navigate Android apps using the Media keys on the front panel.
Use “Back” and “Next” to move to the previous and next object. “Record” serves
as the android Back button. “Play” opens Recent Apps, and “Stop” returns you
to the main Menu. When playing media with an Android app such as Apple
music or Spotify, hold the “Back” button to move to the previous item, hold the
“Play” button to play/pause, and hold the “Next” button to move to the next item
or track.
If you prefer to use more traditional keystrokes for navigating objects, you can
change the method of navigation to emulate Swipe gestures as does TalkBack,
using Space-1 and Space-4. To turn on the gesture method, press Backspace-
Enter-H while using the Mobile Screen reader. Use the same keystroke to
change back to the original mobile Screen Reader method.
To emulate a Double tap directly, regardless of mode, press “Space-Enter”. This
is useful in apps like Tap Tap See, where some buttons have no keyboard
equivalents. To emulate Double Tap and Hold, press “Backspace-Space-Enter”.
This is useful in apps like Amazon, that offer additional menus of functions when
you are placed on a shopping item, a song in Amazon Music, etc. Finally, to
emulate a hold, you can use “Backspace-Space-Dot-2” to start and stop the
hold. This is necessary in apps like WhatsApp Messenger for activating certain
functions.
It is also possible to operate Android apps in a more traditional manner using a
keyboard and/or mouse, or portable touch monitor. You can turn accessibility
features on and off by pressing the “Stop” and “Next” media buttons together on
the front panel of the device. When the Mobile Screen Reader is on, these
accessories will operate similar to how they would when using TalkBack. When
