Voice Access overlay numbers on everything you can interact on the screen. Call the number or name of the feature you want to open to activate it.

For example, in the screenshot above, saying 'two' will activate the Pocket Casts app. Alternatively, you can also say 'launch Pocket Casts' (open Pocket Casts).

Discover the features of Voice Access

Voice Access provides 4 feature categories:

1. Text editor
2. Navigate the menu
3. Gesture control
4. The main features of the phone

Text editor by voice on Android

This feature copies you into words in the text input window. For example, you might write an email like this:

1. Activate Voice Access on the Gmail home page (screenshot on the left).
2. Say compose email (compose email) or five  (5).
3. Spelling the recipient's email address.
4. Write a letter, say what you want to type.

Voice Access recognizes commands such as backspace , enter . In addition, it includes many advanced editing commands such as delete sentence - delete the whole sentence, delete word delete the word next to the cursor.

Navigate the menu with voice

You can also use voice to navigate the menu. This command allows you to open the application, navigate back and forth, to the Home screen and more. Here are some voice navigation commands:

1. Show notifications - Show notifications
2. Show Quick Settings - Show quick settings
3. Show recent apps - Show recent apps
4. Open [application name] - Open the application
5. Back - Back

Control gestures and functions with voice

Because Voice Access is an Accessibility tool, it can turn voice commands into gestures like opening the notification tray. If an app requires a specific gesture to perform an action, simply say the name of the gesture. For example, unlock - unlock the screen, swipe up - swipe up.

Combining drafting, navigation, and gestures makes Voice Access able to do everything you do with your fingers.

The core features of the phone

You can turn on / off Bluetooth & Wi-Fi, adjust the volume or mute the smartphone. Visit https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/6151854 will let you know more commands.

Selecting zoom and grid layout

Like most accessibility apps, Voice Access focuses on large icons and text for better visibility. It can also split the screen into a grid, allowing you to enlarge parts of the screen and interact with smaller elements.

For example, say open grid will divide the screen into a grid. Say swipe 23 up then, will open the app drawer, which corresponds to the right screenshot. Speak zoom in - zoom in on any element you want at the screen. This feature is especially useful for people with low vision.

Install Voice Access

You can access other additional features of Voice Access in its Settings menu . You do not need to open it in the application drawer. Instead, you have to go to the Voice Access section in the notification tray, then touch Settings . Alternatively, go to Settings> Accessibility> Voice Access> Settings .

The Settings menu has many additional options, the most important of which are:

1. Activation button : Continuous bubble overlay on screen. Touching it will activate voice recognition from any menu.
2. Configure activation key : Allows you to assign physical buttons such as a keyboard or Bluetooth as a voice recognition 'switch'.
3. Time out after no speech : Turning it off allows you to run Voice Access continuously while turning on the phone screen. By default, when activated, you have to wait 30 seconds.
4. Active during calls : Allows you to use Voice Access when making a call.
5. Cancel on touch : Normally, touching the screen will turn off Voice Access. Activating Cancel on touch will disable the above action.
6. Show all commands : See everything Voice Access can do.
7. Open tutorial : Rerun the tutorial in case you need to learn how to use Voice Access.

You can use Voice Access to unlock the phone but it only supports the PIN lock. To protect the passcode, the labels show random text as the color name instead of having to read the code aloud. To use this feature, go to Settings , make sure Activate on lock screen is turned on . You can change the PIN security type at Settings> Security> Screen lock .

Another shortcoming when using Voice Command is that it is quite draining battery because it is always in the state of waiting for listening to your next command. Sometimes, the Google Assistant will not understand what you say, so it will not respond.

In general, Voice Access is a handy and safe voice control smartphone application that can significantly speed up your phone's ability to input data. So, don't be afraid to try to see if it meets your needs!
