Android TalkBack: Switching Between Apps

Douglas: Hello, my name is Douglas Walker. Today, we will be exploring what Android calls our app switcher. Now our app switcher gives us quick access to both our recently-opened apps, as well as our most frequently-used apps.

Now, we're currently on our home screen and we will need to use our left and up angle gesture to open our app switcher. All right, if we're new to angle gestures, well, it is our lucky day because we just so happen to have a talk back workshop called, "Angle Gestures". And it does a pretty good job of explaining exactly how our angle gestures all work.

Yeah, so let's go ahead and get started. We'll just slide our finger left and then up our screen here to launch our app switcher.

Ed: Now that you've had a chance to learn a bit with us, we'd like to learn more about you. Your name, email address, how you heard about Hadley, and your relationship to vision loss. Learning more will give us a better understanding of how to personalize Hadley just for you, and don't worry. Everything you share with us online will be kept safe and secure. Of course if you'd prefer to talk through these questions, we're just a phone call away at 800-323-4238.

Taking these few steps saves your preferences so you can continue right where you left off and track your progress every time you log on. Plus, it connects you to the Hadley community and helps sustain our funding to keep Hadley free of charge, and last but not least, it gives you direct access to experts, like me. Now, where were we?
