Subject: Using Accessibility Scanner with TalkBack
No previous message | Next message →

Hello Android app testers,
I am using TalkBack (V8.1)  with updated Accessibility Scanner on a
Pixel running Android 10.
I have the Scanner enabled.
The Start Accessibility Scan button simply appears randomly on some screens.
Is there a setting / gesture that  will help me access the Start
Accessibility Scan button on screens I do want scanned?
I tried to doubletap in the upper part of the screen / near the
heading etc. but that does not help.
Even the Record / Snapshot / Close elements take a while to become
available to TalkBack though they are apparently displayed instantly
after activating the Start Accessibility Scan button.
Writing to Google's apps-help has not elicited a response.
I really appreciate if someone is able to provide some tips on using
the scanner with TalkBack.
Thanks in advance,
Sailesh

I used to use a Bluetooth keyboard. From memory is ctrl + alt up and down arrow to jump between the main screen, status etc. This seemed to get to the scan button each time and was easy enough to activate by the keyboard.
