hello sir, let me explain the down sides of talk back by comparing it with voice over by apple. Because these are the two leading smart phone gesture based screen readers. 1. Less responsive: talkback is less responsive when compared to voice over. it needs to repeat the gestures several times. hardware engineering is concerned in this regards, still it should be improoved for the performance of a gesture based screen reader. 2. Usability of fundamental features: the basic features like text editing operations, element navigation(in browsing) should be more handy. when compared to voice over, voice over provides a feature called rotor. such kind of features must be added. 3. basic gesture shortcuts: in voice over there are several gestures to turn off the speech, turn of the display, switch between active apps etc. they should be introduced in talkback which will make talkback outstanding in usability.
in my opinion it is better to improove talkback by placing voice over performance as a ideal one and work to achieve that. then accessibility of certain apps must be improoved. really some people uses screen readers in smart phones will never leave apple voice over if they can afford it. it is because of these reasons. if we can improove this, everyone will have a chance to use the best with less money. we really appreciate your initiative. -- With Warm Regards, Rejin Jose email:m2re...@gmail.com cell:8281293699 Have a Great Day......
