Ratings and reviews

Works great for reading things on my phone out loud. I do wish there what's select to speak support on other apps such as messages. The main problem with the software though is that it messes up other Google apps such as YouTube and YouTube music. I can no longer click on on artists and songs to go see their page I have to search for it. Also, when I push play/ pause on YouTube a black screen will cover up the video and needs to be physically minimized and doesn't go away automatically.

After the latest update, talkback has stopped continuous announcement for all kinds of progress bars. It doesn't speak percentage of progress bars or any other data which changes continuously. Users need to swipe back and forth again and again to check the latest progress. Also, provide any option to access "Swipe to Pay" feature in payment apps. Please, look after this issue on priority basis and fix it ASAP.

Hello, still there are some problems in Android accessibility sweet application like talk bag speaks while using microphone like in WhatsApp voice message, so I request you to solve these problems as soon as possible and also while typing. , If the keyboard opens late then keep this problem in mind and solve this problem quickly. Thank you. I hope you will try to solve this problem as soon as possible. Thank you.
