About Accessible Editor Talkback
"Accessible Editor" is an editor that was designed especially for blind and visually impaired people that use Android devices with Talkback and speech engine.
It is intended to help visual impaired people to type for applications like SMS, emails, notepad and every other application eyes free. Users can also use "Accessible Editor" to save memos and documents locally.
It is possible to work with "Accessible Editor" on every Android device, phones and tablets,
with both virtual and physical keyboard.
The editor was designed to operate in three different ways.
1. Pressing buttons.
2. Working with gestures.
3. Working with accelerate keys on external keyboard.
It is possible to hear the content of a document in three different speech engines depending on the language of the words.
All the documents can be saved locally or exported to other applications.
You can also import content from other applications to further edit the document.
"Accessible Editor" is designed to work with Talkback and speech Engine, so you don't need to learn a new environment.
There is a special consideration for enlarging fonts and good contrast.
General explanation for working with the editor
One recommended scenario for working with the Editor is done through the following steps:
First you should type the necessary content using either virtual or physical keyboard or using voice recognition.
Then you should hear the whole document (with speech engine). Thus, you may hear weather there were any mistakes in typing.
If there were any mistakes you should go back, word by word until you reach the word with the mistake.
When you get to the mistaken word you should activate the spell function to hear the word letter by letter and then "select" the word.
All these actions can be done either by buttons, gestures or accelerator keys and are explained in the help that comes with the Application.
When the word is selected, you should write the word again correctly. The new word will replace the old mistaken one.
You should repeat these actions until the document has no mistakes and can be exported to the application you want like email or SMS.
