Google Voice Access:

it's the Android equivalent to (and came before) iOS Voice Control (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210417)

Subject: [WebAIM] Android Voice Commands

We're being asked to go beyond our regular website accessibility audits, into the unfamiliar area where the blind use voice commands to explore the online content that we helped make accessible. They seem able to do so well with iPhones but not so with Androids.

Does anyone know of a voice command app we can recommend the blind use with their Android smartphones to surf the web with assistive technology like NVDA reading the content?

Cheers,
