TalkBack: TalkBack speaks descriptions of items you touch or activate on your phone, to
help blind and low-vision users. When TalkBack is turned on, you may need to use a double-

key to turn it on or off while using your phone.

Rapid key input: When TalkBack is on, you can enable Rapid key input, to allow you to
release your finger to enter a selection, instead of double-tapping it. By default, when you
have TalkBack turned on, you must double-tap items on the screen to select them. If you turn
on Rapid key input, you can tap and release your finger to select and item instead of double-
tapping.
