Navigating HTC One (E8) with TalkBack

Use TalkBack if you need to navigate HTC One (E8) by spoken feedback. When you touch the
screen, HTC One (E8) vibrates and gives you an audible response so you know what you are
touching.

Not all languages are supported.

Turning TalkBack on

1. Go to Settings, and then tap Accessibility.

2. Tap TalkBack, and then tap the On/Off switch.

3. Read the TalkBack disclaimer and then tap OK. You'll be prompted to enable Explore by

touch, which provides an audible description of what you're touching on the screen.

A short tutorial explaining how to use TalkBack will begin playing after you turn on TalkBack.

TalkBack works best if you turn off auto-rotate and turn on Explore by touch.
