welcome everyone to ricky's tech talk in today's video we'll be taking a look at the accessibility
features settings and options that we find on the xiaomi mi 10 t lite 5g variant of devices from
xiaomi if you've previously seen the unboxing and setup of this device you would have noticed right
at the beginning of the setup period i looked at the accessibility options this device had
and i think i actually changed the font size which is really good thing to see here but in today's
video i want to go through the accessibility settings and features in greater detail before
we actually jump into the settings there's an option here right on your home screen and that
is actually using the volume keys talk back on system launcher so this device comes with talkback
pre-installed which is great and that's because it's using the android platform so with talkback
on it's a narrator and it will read everything to me on my display here such as the time
current time 316 double tap to enter clock app oh let me know the applications
gallery play store file manager music one unread from google security themes cleaner
double tap to activate double tap and hold to long press so it gives you options there to do as well
you can also select key options up here at the top battery 100 so my battery's up to 100 which is
great and use two fingers for navigation 16 apps so you've got different applications on here page
one eight apps and that's great way for navigating to use two fingers and then one finger to select
double tap to actually make an option actually happen so to open an application you select it
once double tap it and then that opens so that's a talkback service there and we'll look at that
a little bit more as we're going into settings pressing and holding the two volume keys will
turn this off as well so if you accidentally turn it on actually pressing and holding the volume
keys will turn it off as well which is great to see so let's jump into the settings here and
explore a little bit more so we've got settings inside settings you can search for accessibility
or we're going to see where they've actually put it in the system so additional settings
and they've placed it down here in accessibility in additional settings which is a bit of a shame
but we do have some options inside here so let's take a look together so inside here
they've actually split it into some sections which is actually quite helpful when looking for the
right thing so the first one is general and we've got volume key shortcuts which we've already got
set to talk back and that will work wherever we want it to and it can also work on the lock screen
so that's a nice option we also have accessible menu accessibility menu here it shows you how to
activate and you can use an accessibility menu so now i've got a fourth icon down here at the bottom
and this is your accessibility menu here which is really nicely very quick options and you can jump
in and out just very quickly by tapping the icon so if i actually turn this off and okay that will
disappear now as we might need that figure again for another option but good to see there we also
had downloaded services so we've got different services here that we can use and you might be
able to download different applications to help you depending what you need from your smartphone
as well so that's what's in general let's move on then to next which is vision which is important
for me as you may not know i'm visually impaired so i need to look at all the vision settings and
options so we have select to speak so we're going to toggle this on i'm going to hit allow
and again we've got the fourth icon so this is slightly different to the talkback feature
so press here and the screen will sort of be highlighted and then you can tap a section when
select a speak is on you can tap specific items on your screen to hear them read aloud so i just
stopped there i could start right at the top and it would play all the way from the top for me as
well just depending which you choose to do so it's up to you which one you choose but that's a nice
option to see there as well we also have talkback which i've shown you but you could go in here and
you could go through the settings and change these as well so tap settings loads of different options
inside here to change and adjust depending on your choice preferences as well what way you want it to
talk back to you and the speed and options inside there so that's talkback i like that feature
very much we have text to speech output so this is where you've got your speech rate and your pitch
so you can change and adjust these and you can actually play and let me just slow it down for
you so you can actually understand what that was this is an example of speech synthesis in english
so you can change that depending on your personal choice there so that's a nice option to see
then we're coming down to display size so i've already changed my display size just making it
a bit easier for me to see here and you can have small medium or large depending on your choice
great option to see there we then have magnification so you have magnification
with triple tap and magnification with shortcuts so magnification with triple tap is quite simple
so once your display is on three quick taps will actually enlarge your display for you
you can also pinch into zoom as well with a really large sharp display here from xiaomi
looks really good crisp and clean you can navigate round one two three to come back
there is also another option you could use here that not too many people know about
so on your third tap if you press and hold it will actually keep magnified for you so one two three
use one finger to fly around but as soon as you release the zoom then disappears as well so that's
the accessible option there for magnification there's also magnification with your shortcut
here which is down here at the bottom and we can choose which one we want to use so we want
to use magnification and select and there we go tap and then we can zoom in again press one
finger tap here and it zooms back out for you so that's magnification with shortcuts so really nice
options to see there but this will work wherever you are so it's not just in settings this could be
in whatsapp it could be in facebook it could be in tik-tok it could be in anywhere anywhere you
need to know information so your emails as well so underneath that we've got color correction
so you've got color correction options here and you can select which one best works for you and
this depends which one it might be affected by but that's the color correction options inside there
we then have color inversion so this will invert all of your colors so if i come back home here as
you can see all of the colors are inverted so it very much depends which way you want that round
let's just jump back in settings here toggle that one off so we've got remove animation so this will
remove any flashy animations on your device making it easier for you to use you've got high contrast
text so this makes it a bit bolder a bit easier to read here if you look at this text it will change
makes it a bit bolder a bit easier to see so a bit of a new option here that i haven't seen before is
switch to speaker automatically so when you're on a call if you remove your phone away from your ear
it will go to the speaker automatically that's great for me when i'm in hold on calls all the
time to different shopping or say i want to place an order somewhere actually i normally just put
it down on the desk and put it on loudspeaker but for this to happen automatically is a real
plus i like that option there we have a quick shortcut option down to accessibility menu which
i've already spoken about so along the top we're carrying on with the different options and we move
into hearing so you have mono audio and you've got audio balance so mono audio is just by one
channel audio balance is your left or your right side and you've got caption preferences and inside
here you can toggle on and you can adjust your captions so say you can't hear what you're seeing
but you can change the caption so we've got language we've got text size
we've got uh six different options inside there then finally at the bottom you've got caption
styles you've got different styles you can choose from six ones there to choose from and also some
devices have the caption live option as well but they're the little options that we have here
not great amount that i'm seeing so far our next one is physical so switch access is a great
setting this is where it uses switches and control devices to control your smartphone so if you're
not able to do that with your fingers or with your hands you can use different switches in different
applications to use your smartphone really good option here and in settings there's so many
different options to go through and it's really nice that they've actually added these options
because there's not too many options on here for accessibility this one is a real key highlight
in physical accessibility features and settings we have touch and hold delay so if you need to
actually take your time which is a really nice option here you've got time to take action and
this is in a testing mode at the moment but what this does is allows you to take longer to look at
your notifications and react to them so you don't have to quickly flick them away or actually glance
at them really quickly you do have time to take action you've got power button will end your calls
and the power button is down the right hand side here with your inbuilt fingerprint sensor and it's
indented so there is a textual difference between the volume keys no color difference though it's
just slightly darker you've got auto screen rotate so you can put this in landscape or portrait mode
you've got your vibrate and haptic feedbacks and you also have dwell timing again this is
for using applications and different features and options are available here for you to use
and you've got large mouse cursor as well so you can use a mouse cursor and at the bottom
it's suggesting keyboard mouse and trackpad so you can add those in if you want to so those are the
main settings you see there i'm just going to go into display because sometimes they hide options
in display in display here we've got brightness you've got reading mode so if i toggle this on
toggle this on you've got reading mode here making it easier for you to read you've got paper
and you've got scheduled as well there so you can choose which one you want to do so you want
to read a lot of text and what that is removing is the harsh blue light that may actually damage your
eyes over time you've got color schemes you can change the color scheme depending what suits you
i just use automatic or most of the time i actually use it as bright as possible you've
got refresh rate so this device offers multiple different refresh rates so you've got 120 hertz
when you've got 60 hertz it chooses up to you so we're going to keep it at 60. we've got dark
modes this is slightly different to the contrast high contrast so dark matter keeps the colors all
the same here but actually changes it in the menus which is a nice option to see and actually i will
use that more than any other mode underneath that we've got text size and you can change and adjust
the text size depending on you which is great making it easier i'm just going to turn dark
mode off here we'll go back to the original one and as you can see my text size is a little bit
bigger there so when device is in vr you've got options there full screen modes when you want to
watch your device in full screen mode auto screen rotates which you've seen before and full screen
display so there all the settings and features that we find on the xiaomi mi 10t lite 5g variant
from vodafone so what do you think let me know down below it's great to see all the different
options on here it's a really good device it's full of different settings and features that most
people will be able to use however i do believe there are other devices out there that offer more
accessibility use and better options depending on your ability so make sure to shop around
for the most popular one i'd say either samsung or iphone so defending those two choices is up to you
i'm not going to set my preference out you know what my daily driver is but some people may prefer
other devices but for me ricky thank you always watching make sure to give this video a like
