About this app

Voice Access helps anyone who has difficulty manipulating a touch screen (e.g. due to paralysis, tremor, or temporary injury) use their Android device by voice.

Voice Access provides many voice commands for:
- Basic navigation (e.g. "go back", "go home", "open Gmail")
- Controlling the current screen (e.g. "tap next", "scroll down")
- Text editing and dictation (e.g. "type hello", "replace coffee with tea")

You can also say "Help" any time to see a short list of commands.

Voice Access includes a tutorial which introduces the most common voice commands (starting Voice Access, tapping, scrolling, basic text editing, and getting help).

You can use the Google Assistant to start Voice Access by saying "Hey Google, Voice Access". To do this, you’ll need to enable "Hey Google" detection. You can also tap either the Voice Access notification or a blue Voice Access button and start talking.

To pause Voice Access temporarily, just say "stop listening". To disable Voice Access completely, go to Settings > Accessibility > Voice Access and turn off the switch.

For additional support, see Voice Access help.

This app uses the AccessibilityService API to help users with motor impairments. It uses the API to collect information about the controls on the screen and activate them based on the user’s spoken instructions.

Ratings and reviews

Sorry guys but this app sucks. It only has successfully opened a couple of apps and they were basic 'default apps. The rest of the time it will just open and spout t doesn't understand. In fact it only understood something on its own once. And that was what I felt invasive.. It's listening to the TV and piping up constantly. I'm sure it will work as purported soon. But in the mean time is it talking to everything who will listen I just heard about a vaccum that was gathering data and sending it

The application has great potential, however, I found several flaws in its functionality. Firstly, the grid function is unstable. For instance, when I select a grid, then refine it to a more detailed one, and then try to go even deeper, the program breaks and stops responding to commands. Secondly, the purpose of labels is not obvious, as some of them are not displayed. Lastly, the speech recognition system struggles with long commands, which have to be repeated many times to no avail.

it's cool and nice but it needs a little bit more of control systems It's cool and nice but it needs a little bit more of control systems like turning on the light Like turning on the light and other stuff and can write different languages and understand different languages especially is Zulu and is supposed to that you can say someone's name in is a closer and English and isizulu it can write it down angel can call the person and you want to say WhatsApp
