Configure Vision Accessibility Settings

Your phone offers many features to assist users who are blind or low-vision.
1. From home, tap
2. Tap Accessibility > Vision to configure options:

TalkBack: Enable or disable the TalkBack feature and configure options. When TalkBack is
on, your device speaks descriptions of items you touch or activate on your phone, to help
blind and low-vision users. When TalkBack is turned on, you may need to use a double-tap to
select items, because a single tap is used to trigger TalkBack. Tap the ON/OFF switch beside
TalkBack to turn the feature on or off. When TalkBack is on, tap Settings to configure
specific options.

Dark screen: When TalkBack is on, you can enable Dark screen to keep your phone's
screen turned off at all times. When Dark screen is enabled, double-press the Power/Lock
key to turn it on or off while using your phone.

Rapid key input: When TalkBack is on, you can enable Rapid key input, to allow you to
release your finger to enter a selection, instead of double-tapping it. By default, when you
have TalkBack turned on, you must double-tap items on the screen to select them. If you turn
on Rapid key input, you can tap and release your finger to select and item instead of double-
tapping.

Speak passwords: When Explore by touch is turned on, you can enable Speak passwords
to have your phone read out characters entered in password fields.
NOTE: Use caution with this feature, because others near you will be able to hear your
passwords.

Font size: Choose the size of text for your phone's screens.

Magnification gestures: When turned on, you can use special magnification gestures,
including:
• Triple-tap on most screens to zoom in or out.
• While zoomed in, you can drag two or more fingers across the screen to pan (move
around the screen).
• While zoomed in, you can use pinch with two fingers to adjust the zoom level. Move your
fingers closer together to zoom in, or apart to zoom out.
• Triple-tap and hold to temporarily magnify what's under your finger. You can then drag
your finger across the screen to explore the screen. Lift your finger to return to the
regular-size screen.

Notification reminder: When turned on, your phone beeps at set intervals to remind you of
unread notifications. Tap the ON/OFF switch beside Notification reminder to turn the option
on, and then tap Reminder interval to set the interval for reminder beeps.
