So #Facebook on #Android has almost entirely broken for #Blind users relying on #Talkback, the menu force opens when focus lands on it and traps, and you cannot activate almost anything without it jumping back to the home tab and trying to create a story instead. Maybe for a change @nationsblind will do something about this now instead of waiting 6-12 months for it to appear on #iOS

#dringend #wichtig: Auf #GrapheneOS führt das installieren des grapheneSTT und das anschließende Aktivieren von #talkback zum Absturz von #SST und dem sofortigen erneuten Aufruf von talkback. Nichts geht mehr. Auch nicht nach Neustart. Ich habe über ADB shell pm com.Android.talkback deaktiviert. Die alternative wäre wohl nur ein factory reset gewesen. Also vor Experimenten developers Optionen aktivieren, debuging per USB aktivieren, Zertifikat löschen und neu setzen, per ADB ausprobieren, ob pm gestartet werden kann. Dann mit STT und talkback experimentieren

TalkBack 17 is out and TalkBack 16.2 is now open source. The notable TalkBack 17 addition: Braille display command customization, though you can only remap existing commands for now, not add new ones. If you're building or auditing Android apps, it's time to test against TalkBack 17.

Okay Android folks, TalkBack 17 is released, and TalkBack 16.2 is open source! TalkBack 17 is important because Google released a little Braille display command customization, although for now you can only customize commands that are already there; you can't add any so you could move to next/previous container, for example. TalkBack 16.2 being open source is important because now, any vibe coding blind person can make their own, pretty-much-up-to-date, screen reader for Android based on TalkBack.

Need a quick way to toggle TalkBack on or off? Just hold the volume up and volume down buttons at the same time. You'll hear a sound and a message confirming TalkBack has turned off. Do the same to turn it back on.
