Mukesh, that was very helpful! I did as you suggested, and now MA speaks to me, outside of its own aplications as well. Thank you very much.

To have MA work properly, there should only be one of the screen reader active. Now to correct everything, could you please do the following with sighted assistance. 1. Turn off talkback off and restart your phone. 2. Turn on MA and make sure to select OK / Yes on the prompt to activate Touch and Explore by MA. Remember there will be two confirmation dialog, one for the activation of MA Screen Reader and second for the activation of Touch and Explore.

Most things on it are very accessible using Talkback, but still I was glad when the new version of MA was released, because I liked MA a lot on my old Galaxy Pro running 2.3. However, MA doesn’t work properly on my Nexus. First, MA barely speaks outside of the suite of applications, which makes it completely useless as a screenreader. Then, it doesn’t react correctly to touch gestures. Ma doesn’t use accessibility focus like Talkback does, which means you can not always open or activate an item by tapping anywhere on the screen once the item is selected. For example, when I select somebody in the MA contacts app and then double tap the screen, MA will not necessarily open the selected contact, but rather a random one, I guess it is the one I tapped by coincidence. And this happens in many of the MA apps. It was also very difficult to edit a contact, because I could not activate the “save changes” button. The button was spoken by MA, but when asking a sighted person where it was, he said it was nowhere on the screen. Very weird. Next, I don’t have all the settings in the MA settings app. I can see the phone settings like ringtone, notification sound and vibrate on call. But the settings that are more specific to MA, like speech settings, advanced and screenreader settings, are just not there. This means I can’t set things like which voice and call screens I want to use, and volume buttons to accept and hang up calls. I was curious to know if the calendar app now synchronizes correctly with Google Calendar, but could not test this, because I could not manage to enter a new event. Most of the time I did not know on which edit field I was, and I couldn’t find out how to enter the date and time for the event. If anybody could give me some tips or advice on how to use MA on a toucch-only phone running Android Jelly Bean, I would be most grateful. But until then, I think I will stay with Talkback.
