Ratings and reviews

It's very interesting that when I come to this page and I hit select to speak, it reads every word. But when I want to use it where I need it most, it skips on whole sentence, it does not read word-for-word, but here on this page, it reads perfectly word-for-word and doesn't skip any sentences. I don't understand why. When it works , it's good , but the majority of the time it's skippy , one or two sentences , when I needed the most not good.

Don't know why after selecting words and clicking right button for it to read but no sound at all, but you can find setting of text size and speed. My phone is working well, only it cannot. It had this sound many months ago when I used it. Recently it has not had. I am thinking to delete it for saving phone space since no use at all if no one can help me with solving this problem.

This set of Accessibility Settings is not in it's finalized form, because it's got Apt of bugs that need to be fixed! I'm not sure about the specific bugs, but I'm certain I've encountered several of them while using the Accessibility Settings to make it easier for me to use my Android phone! The biggest issue that I can think of at the moment is that there's an issue that keeps causing the 'Select To Speak' feature to stop working and I have to go into my settings to figure out what's wrong!
