Hi Ram,



The built -n screen reader on Samsung is TalkBack with some customizations
specific to Samsung devices (and a different name). You could download the
pure Android Accessibility Suite
<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.marvin.tal
kback&hl=en_US> from Google (new name for TalkBack packaged with other
Google accessibility features), but I'm not sure if the Samsung device will
recognize it. I can test later today.



So you should be able to test with the built in screen reader on Samsung,
but you might get slightly different results if it is not based on the most
current version of TalkBalk (currently v7.2.0.220693075, at least on my
pixel 2 with the latest Android 9 security update)



Thankx.
