Hi,

 

I have an Asus tf700 tablet, and I am having a similar problem.  I loaded M.A. 
and turned off talk back. When I go to apps and choose any app, I don’t have 
any speech.  Can anyone help?

 

Jim

It appears that you have MA and Talkback both running together.

 

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.

 

Thanks

Mukesh

Subject: [MA] very disappointing experience with MA on Galaxy Nexus

 

Hello all,

 

I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which now runs Android 4.2 Jelly 
Bean. 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 screen reader. Then, it doesn’t react correctly to 
touch gestures. Ma doesn’t use accessibility focus like Talkback does, which 
means you cannot 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 
screen reader 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 touch-only 
phone running Android Jelly Bean, I would be most grateful. But until then, I 
think I will stay with Talkback.

 

Kind Regards,

Miranda
