Regardless of the keyboard we have on our smartphone, a button with this form will appear at the bottom of any app with access to the keyboard. When you touch it, the ” TalkBack braille keyboard ” option will be displayed where pressing it will activate the mode and you can start using it in landscape format. It is likely that you will ask us to go to the TalkBack settings again if we have not activated it, remembering that to change actions we based only on gestures and double taps on the screen.
By default it will remain configured as our default keyboard and to deactivate it like TalkBack we just have to keep the volume up and down button at the same time until it vibrates. To activate it we will repeat this process and thus both people with vision difficulties and those who do not have it will be able to use the same smartphone.
