Hi all
Warm Greetings.
As part of screen reader testing on mobile apps, would like to know what
is the recommendable setting for speak hints.
Whether this setting should be turned on or off?
Specially when testing a third party application.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Surbhi Mudgal.

Hi there,
as for as my concern, it has to be turned on.
the setting may explain to the user how to interact with the
perticular element/ctrl.

It depends on how comfortable you are with using the screen reader. For example, I find it to be too verbose and keep it turned off, but I am an advanced screen reader user.
If you are new to the application, then it can be quite beneficial to have it on. Just remember that it won't announce any hints if the objects are not providing their object type to the screen reader. Most likely, the screen reader would read those as static text, when in some situations they do receive finger taps.

Yes, you should be somehow checking hints to verify that the default hint is appropriate for your interactions. Either you are doing that in the accessibility checker in for the OS or if you confirm them with actual phones. By default the Hints are enabled for but as already mentioned many advanced users turn them off.
Best wishes,

But I see talkback does not announce the control type for many option like
button or tab and just announces the hints when they are turned on.
So my query here is whether this is android behaviour or due to bad code
practice the control types are not announced/missing.

I never used talked back, but it sounds like the control is not providing its object type. But it has hints included to accommodate for that missing object type.
I could be wrong though.
