Android devices have offered a built -in screen reader called Talkback for years. It helps people with vision problems to understand what appears on their phone screen and allows them to control them with their voices. In 2024, Google Gemini Ai added to the mix to give users a more detailed description of the photos.
Google is now Reinforcement It is with a completely new layer of interactive comfort for users. To date, Gemini only pictures. Now, when users look at pictures, they can even ask follow -up questions about them and make a more detailed conversation.
How to help users with difficulties in vision?
“The next time a friend sends you a picture of his new language, you can get a description and ask follow -up questions about Make and Color, or even what is another in the picture,” says Google. This depends on the upgrading of the access that Gemini has incorporated into Talkback in late last year.
The Talkback menu on Android is now displaying a dedicated description screen that puts Gemini in the driving seat. Therefore, for example, if users are browsing the clothing catalog, Gemini will not only describe what appears on the screen, but will also answer the relevant questions.
For example, users can ask questions like “Which dress will be the best for a cold winter night?” Or “What sauce will go better with a sandwich?” Gemini will also be able to analyze the entire screen and inform users of the granular product details, or if there are discounts available.
Make the illustrations expressive and improve the enlargement of the text
In the Chrome browser, Google offers a small elevator to automatically created videos. Let’s say that you are watching a football match. The explanations will not follow the words of the commentator, but they will also match their emotions and expressions.
For example, instead of the “target”, users with a thunderous “Goaaaal” hearing problems will see more emotional focus. Google calls them expressive comments.
In addition to human speech, they will now cover important voices such as wires, chanting, or even a spokesman who cleanses their throat. Expressive illustrations will be available on all Android 15 or later versions in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia.
Another useful change to the Chrome browser is adaptive text enlargement, which is mainly updating the page enlargement system available on Android phones. Now, when users increase the size of the text, this will not affect the layout of the rest of the web page.
“You can customize the amount you want to enlarge and apply preferences easily on all the pages you visit or just specific pages,” says Google. Users will be able to make zooming modifications using the scrolling bar at the bottom of the page.
