What Is the Talkback App?
Talkback is Google’s screen reader app, which helps people with visual impairments to better navigate their smartphones. Talkback uses a variety of feedback outside of screen reading as well, including other noises and vibrations, to help you make sense of the information on your phone. The Talkback app is part of the Google Accessibility Suite, which comes pre-loaded on all Android phones, and is frequently updated with new features through the Google Play Store.
