welcome everyone I'm Ricky from Tech Talk and this is the xiaomi me night and
today we're going to go through the accessibility settings and options you
have on here to change and adjust this device to make it your own
no matter your ability so first of all you're gonna notice the text size is a
little bit bigger and I've already changed that to make it easier for me to
read through the setting options and tell you everything about this device so
sadly there was no accessibility options right at the beginning of the setup
process but near to the end you did have some
options to change and adjust with select to speak
talkback magnification text size and display size so it's good that I have
the options in the setup process it's just a shame that they're not there at
the beginning the first setting that I want to talk about is the volume key
shortcut option so just above your power button are the two volume controls so if
you press both of these together so you have a talkback service a talkback is an
option here that will talk back and dictate everything you touch and
highlight on your display so I can touch and highlight everything on my display
and it will be read out to me aloud it makes it easier vent and navigate
throughout your device so I can highlight specific applications one
unread for messages pro camera DoubleTap to activate double tap and hold to long
press also we can find out system information as well by touching up here
at the top battery 100% 100 or G phone signal for two navigates use two fingers
page 212 apps so it tells me all of my applications on here which is awesome
and then if I swipe up page 3 3 apps page 212 apps and again that's how you
move around by using two fingers either side to side or up and down so let's
turn talkback off press and hold then volume keys again together at the same
time so when you first do this a tutorial will actually come up it will
pop up and go through a tutorial of everything you can do with talkback and
that's a really good thing to go through if it's your first ever time maybe using
a new device if you're coming from a previous one as they are slight
differences in the software and also maybe if it's your first ever time of
using talkback let's go into the main settings to find
this what we're gonna do is to tap the Settings badge here then you're gonna
come down you're gonna go to additional settings coming down to the bottom and
four from bottom you're gonna find accessibility so inside here we're gonna
find volume key shortcut so that's our first option and then you can change and
select which ones you want to choose it doesn't have to be talkback you can
change and adjust which ones you want to use which i think is a really good thing
to have talkback is the default option but you can go in here and change if you
so wish to underneath that is talkback I'm not going to go into this and you're
going to tap on here again it gives you information what it does and there is a
helpful page tutorial there to use if you so want to underneath that is select
to speak and what this will do is actually read everything that you select
independently not everything is on your display
so what's toggled on normally you'd get another icon down here at the bottom you
would tap this and then press play and then it reads your anything cue
highlight is I have spent for the last 20 minutes off-camera to try and get
this working I've restarted the device reset it factory reset it and nothing's
got it working and I don't understand why I have spoken to other content
creators and other media people that I know and some of the units are working
so not too sure why mine isn't I'll come back to this during the review if I
manage to figure it out but this is another great option you have on here
with people with low vision they don't think that you have text-to-speech
outputs this is where you can change the speech rate and the pitch so we go all
the way up here so it's really fast and some people can actually use it at that
speed this is an example of speech synthesis in English I mean you can
reset to defaults here and this is an example of speech synthesis in English
so you can really hear them key differences obviously you can change
your pitch in English or you can go quite deep this is an example of speech
synthesis in English sounds a bit weird press that resets and then we're back to
normal there's a nice how the option there
because people need to change and adjust depending on their options underneath
that we have display size display size has a couple of presets here and then
you can change and adjust this depending on your choice so I'm going to push it
up one and as you can see it makes it a little bit easier for me to read
underneath that is magnification you have magnify with triple tap toggle
this on one two three three quick taps and your display will enlarge and thanks
to being a Super AMOLED panel as well it's good of the text is just gonna pop
and come alive and be easily read 'no matter how much you zoom in and of
course that has to be a white density sort of text image file which it is on
this device and then you use two fingers to them maneuver around one two three to
come back there's also another option one two three and on your third one you
hold the display down maneuver around and then release and that takes you back
again great features to use and really good to see on this device
you then have magnification with button so it'd be interesting to see if this
works because this is a bit like talkback and a little button should
appear down here so toggle one again you should have had a button here and you
would press that and then it would zoom in anything you actually highlight it a
bit of an issue here it might be a press unit only underneath that you have color
Corrections color correction is for someone that has difficulty seeing
different color options you have different color options here to choose
from and then you also have accessibility here you can toggle on and
change and adjust which option you want it to have within their lists so
underneath we have color inversion so I've come out dark mode because color
inversion is different to dark mode when I come home it actually converts the
other colors as well and really changes and adjust your display so it depends on
your choice I prefer dark theme making it easier for me to read but then these
colors aren't inverted underneath that you have a large mouse cursor so you can
use a mouse cursor to manipulate around your device if you are struggling to use
your fingers or to use an interaction control underneath that one you have
removed animations underneath that is accessibility menu so toggle this on and
again I do have an issue here with my device because I should have another
accessibility man down here on fourth icon and then I can press and change and
adjust any settings I want to in the accessibility no matter where I am on
the device save going into settings all the time there's a real shame that
there's an issue here like I said I will delve into it more I did spend a good
time trying to find out what the issue was
underneath that you have switch access to switch access is a great feature this
gives you interaction control systems separate to the device so you can use an
interaction control to manipulate move and enjoy your device but without using
your fingers because it may be a little bit impossible for you to do
compared to your ability so that is a really good option that I'd like to see
on here underneath this you have to world timing if you are using a mouse
you can set the cursor to take action automatically when it stops moving for a
certain amount of time the power button can end calls and the power button is
your smaller one here compared to your volume keys here that can end your calls
you also have auto screen rotate so you can rotate your display and when you're
in certain apps it automatically does this for you you've got touch and hold
laid this is a bit like switch access and the cursor is that it will take its
time before it makes an action come true there's a really good option to have on
here depending on your ability underneath that you have vibration so
you can turn on vibrate and then go through different options here so you
have touch vibrates ring and notification vibration underneath that
you have mono audio underneath that you have captions and you can change an
industrial captions here so if I toggle this on we can have language you can
change in just your language you can have text size you can change and adjust
your text size then also you have captions style as well again you can
change and adjust up to you really good features have on here and a lot of
people do use that then finally in experimental stage is high contrast text
toggle this on and as you can see the headings are actually made white as well
and bold and easier to read so that's all the settings you're gonna find in
accessibility they do also put some settings in another section so they have
separated them which is a little bit annoying but if you go up to display so
if we go into display here there's a few options in here first of all is your
brightness level you can change and really adjust your brightness level you
can have it automatically brights so it auto detects and changes and adjusts to
your light wherever you are you have night mode brightness as well so when
you're using it at nighttime it takes away that harsh blue light so it's
easier for you to to your device you also have night mode
color temperature so you can change and adjust that depending on your choice
underneath that you have reading mode - reading mode is really good let me talk
this on here it's reading mode is gonna make it a little bit yellow but easier
to you for you to read and actually enjoy your device is bit hard to show
because obviously with the light in from both slides there it does have a slight
change in you'll see that come back to white underneath you do have a schedule
so you could schedule this to come on at certain times of the day and then they
thought you have contrast and colors so coming under here you can change and
adjust your colors of your device depending on your choice and depending
on your ability you might need to change it for certain aspects so I have dark
mode toggled on here if I toggle this off you'll see what it looks like very
different quite bright and quite in your face so if I toggle it on it just makes
it so much easier for me to use also you have text size in here it's in the wrong
position I think this should be an accessibility but you do have the option
here to change your text size so I can pump out to one size larger and it just
makes it so much easier to actually see you have double tap to wake your screen
so when it's actually put down on vest that what's up here and it will wake up
and then you have raised to wake as well there's really good amount of settings
on here and I'm really pleased with all the settings that Xiaomi have put on
here alongside Google as well she's using me UI 10 and Android 9 so they
work together to put the best settings on every single device whatever it may
be couple of issues that I do have is that they are hidden away they're buried
in too many subsections so you have to go through multiple sections to find
your settings and they're not all in one place either which can be confusing for
people why would you put text size and display options but not in accessibility
why would you not add any accessibility settings right at the beginning of a
setup process but halfway through them just some of these things need to be
refined and adjusted and I think it would be a great option for anyone's
have because it covers quite a wide range of abilities that people will need
to change and adjust depending on their options and it does have the features
that we need obviously I seem to have a bit of an issue with mine that might be
software related or as this is a press unit so it might be a bit
when compared to what's on the market I will delve into it and look into it
further and I'll come back with an update very soon or I'll leave a comment
on this video after I found out the solution thanks always for watching and
if you do have any questions or any queries that I can help with around
accessibility or the Xiaomi me9 please drop a comment down below for me riki I
will see you very soon bye for now
