Khaberni - The Android system has become enriched with an increasing number of accessibility features aimed at making the use of smartphones easier for all users, not just those with special needs.
Although these tools are often considered to be designated for certain groups, they can enhance the everyday user experience for anyone.
The Extra Dim feature is one of the simplest accessibility tools, but it is very helpful, especially in low-light environments.
This feature allows reducing screen brightness to levels lower than the default minimum, which makes reading or using the phone at night or in dark places easier without straining the eyes.
It can commonly be found in the Accessibility menu in the settings or under the quick brightness settings.
Live Captions
Live Captions is a powerful feature that displays texts from audio or video content, whether you are watching shows or listening to audio files or even during calls on some devices.
This feature works without needing an internet connection, making it useful in public places or when sounds are unclear. Google has developed this feature to include Expressive Captions, which also try to convey the speaker's tone in videos.
Sound Amplifier
The Sound Amplifier feature focuses on improving the sound quality from your phone, whether you have a hearing impairment or simply wish to enhance the clarity of sounds during video watching or conversations.
This tool allows adjusting the volume level, blocking unwanted sounds, and amplifying quiet sounds, making the listening experience clearer without needing to excessively raise the volume.
Screen Reader
One of the prominent accessibility features in Android is TalkBack, a screen reading system that informs the user of what appears on the screen audibly.
This feature was originally designed to assist the blind and visually impaired, but it can also be useful in other scenarios, such as navigating while driving without constantly looking at the screen.
Accessibility Shortcuts
Sometimes you might just need to quickly turn on a specific feature without accessing the full settings menu.
Here, accessibility shortcuts come in as a practical solution, where you can add many Accessibility features as shortcuts that can be activated with a button press or a specific gesture, like swiping up with three fingers from the bottom of the screen.
