-
Alan Viverette: Hi, everyone! Welcome back to the EyesFree channel.
-
I'm Alan Viverette and this the first in a series of videos on the new accessibility features available in Android 4.0, also known as Ice Cream sandwich.
-
I have a brand new Galaxy Nexus here running Android 4.0 that I am going to set up for accessibility.
-
I've already turned it on, so it's currently showing the welcome screen.
-
To enable accessibility, draw a rectangle, starting at the top left corner of the screen, and going around clockwise, closing it off again at the top left corner of the screen.
-
(cursor does that)
-
[ding]
-
synthetic voice SV: After you turn on explorer by touch, you can touch the screen to learn what's under your finger.
-
For example, the current screen contains app icons.
-
Find one of them by touching the screen and sliding your finger around.
-
Viverette: So, after turning on accessibility you hear a ding and it starts up the touch exploration tutorial.
-
I'm just going to run through the tutorial really quick.
-
So first, I want to touch anywhere on the screen. So... (cursor on Gmail icon)
-
SV: Good: keep sliding your finger around the screen until you find at least one more icon.
-
Viverette: So, here I'm touching the gmail icon. It's near the center of the screen.
-
I move up (cursor does) [bleep]
-
SV: To activate something that you are touching, tap it.
-
Slide your finger until you find the icon for the browser, then tap the icon once to activate it.
-
Viverette: So just to get a sense of where I am, I'm going to move around
-
(cursor moves over apps, causing their names to be voiced)
-
SV: Phone. People disabled. Clock. Camera. Calendar.
-
Brows--. Your finger is touching the browser icon. Tap once to activate that icon.
-
Viverette: OK. So I found the browser icon and I can lift my finger once, and place it back on the screen to tap [bleep] to activate the browser.
-
SV: Good, to move to the next lesson, find and activate the "next" button, located near the bottom right corner of the screen.
-
Viverette: I'm just going to put my finger back down where it was before.
-
SV: Browser
-
Viverette: move towards the bottom right of the screen.
-
(cursor moves diagonally)
-
SV: Phone. People Gmail disab-- Market.
-
Viverette: It's reading out all of the icons that I cross as I go to the bottom right of the screen,
-
SV: Good. To move to the next lesson,
-
Viverette: it's giving me instructions about...
-
SV: find and activate the next butt... Next.
-
Viverette: Here is the next button. I'm going to tap once to activate it. [ding]
-
(a one-column list of apps appears with an instruction text and a Back button)
-
SV reads instructiontext: To scroll through the list, you can slide 2 fingers along the screen.
-
For example, the current screen contains a list of app names that can scroll up or down.
-
First, try to identify a few items in the list by sliding one finger around.
-
Viverette: So, as before, I'm going to touch-explore by just putting one finger on the screen [bleep]
-
SV: Good. Keep sliding your finger around to find at least one more item.
-
Viverette: So I'll move down (cursor moves down) [bleep]
-
SV: Now place two fingers on an item in the list and slide both fingers up.
-
If you reach the top of the screen, lift your fingers, place them lower on the list, and continue sliding up.
-
Viverette: So I can move my finger around. (cursor moves up, triggering voicing:)
-
SV: People. Phone.
-
Viverette: Up and down, through the list
-
SV: Camera
-
Viverette: to read each item. (cursor moves up triggering voicing:)
-
SV: Calendar. Browser.
-
Viverette: And as the tutorial just instructed me to do, I can put 2 fingers [bleep] on the screen right next to each other
-
(two cursors appear)
-
SV: Phone.
-
Viverette: and move up.
-
(The list scrolls up together with the two cursors) [clicks, pitch rising]
-
SV: Good. Keep sliding your fingers up, to scroll some more.
-
(cursors and list move up) [clicks, pitch rising]
-
SV: Showing items 4 to 11 of 32.
-
Viverette: OK. So, I've reached the top of the list and I'm going to put my fingers lower on the screen.
-
(the 2 cursors appear lower on the screen).
-
SV: Music. [clicks, pitch rising] You have completed the tutorial. To exit, find and touch the "finish" button.
-
Viverette: OK? So, I've finished the tutorial. And you'll notice that, as I scroll
-
(two cursors scroll down) [clicks, pitch dropping]
-
SV: Clock
-
(two cursors scroll up) [clicks, pitch rising]
-
Viverette: you get audio feedback as to where I am on the list.
-
SV: Showing items 7 to 14 of 32.
-
Viverette: And when I finish scrolling, it tells me exactly where I am on the list.
-
So now I am just going to move--
-
(one cursor moves descending in the list)
-
SV: Message. Music. Mark--
-
Viverette: --forward on the list.
-
SV: Sett-- Talk.
-
You have completed the tutorial. To exit, finish.
-
Viverette: And there is a "finish" button. So I'll tap that once.
-
(taps on the finish button bottom-right) [bleep]
-
SV: Use Google Location.
-
(back to the initial screen)
-
Viverette: So we are back at the main set-up screen.
-
At the center of the right side of the screen, there is a start button.
-
So, to find that, I'm just going to scan the screen very quickly.
-
(cursor moves, triggering voicing:)
-
SV: Welcome. English United States. Start.
-
Viverette: Yes, there it is in the center of the screen.
-
I was just taking a slow swiping (cursor moves slowly, triggering voicing:) movement across the entire screen
-
SV: Welcome. English. Welcome. English United States. Start.
-
Viverette: So that's how to turn on accessibility in Android 4.0.
