if youre unfamiliar, its an accessibility app made by google, for controlling your phone with your voice. this is different to the “OK google” thing.
I’m disabled, and I avoided owning a phone for many years because they’re so painful to use. but this year I finally had to get one, so I got a samsung s10e. but this voice access app is just… terrible? its really buggy, struggles to understand me way worse than Talon (a PC voice control program), and loves to do things I don’t tell it to.
it also doesn’t even make my phone fully accessible, theres tons of gestures it just can’t do, and I can’t add custom ones.
basically… am I doing something wrong? is there some trick I don’t know about? or is android accessibility really this bad? is there anything I can do?
No problem, you got lucky my brain is mostly working today and that this topic is in my very niche wheelhouse.
It also really grinds my gears that there is no documentation I have found for the actual full list of commands in VA and that I’ve had to trial and error discovery some of them. As though user interfaces weren’t hard enough for people who use alternate input methods already. None of this should be this hard for anyone.
