hey everyone ricky here from Ricky's tech talk let me explain why the Samsung galaxy zed fold 3 5g is
potentially the most accessible device i have used to date, it all begins with the setup process there
is a huge amount of settings at your beginning starting stages of receiving your new phone
that you can change and adjust to make this device so accessible to you make sure to go and check out
my setup process basic step-by-step guide and i will have that linked in the video description
so let's move on to the different ways of actually accessing your accessible settings
once your device is set up the first option is using Bixby which is built in what you need to
do is press and hold the power button and ask launch accessibility settings
and it will launch the accessibility menu for you and you can go in here and change all the
settings that best meet your needs the second the way is searching for accessibility settings
swipe up and in the search box you would then start to search accessibility
as you can see you don't need to type all of the words so just tap on accessibility option
then you've got further options and then you can press to go into your accessibility settings
and it shows all of your settings again the final the option is to find them yourself so swipe up to select
settings in settings swipe all the way down to the bottom and locate accessibility which is the
the fourth icon from the bottom inside here is all of our accessibility settings and we're going
to go through them together now our first option is recommended for you inside here it recommends
different accessibility settings that you might have used on previous devices or some settings
that you may want to use straight away you can go through the settings and change different options
there are even options here to change Bixby to help you our next option is to talk back to talkback is a
special accessibility setting that will narrate everything on your display to you wherever you
are this could be any app or any home screen or anywhere wherever something is needed
to be talked back so for the time being we're going to select talkback we're going to agree
on talkback navigate up button double-tap to activate double-tap and hold to long-press
so it's telling me what to do and I can highlight different texts in the box here when talkback is
on it provides spoken feedback so that you can use your device without looking at the screen
one UI home weather in double-tap and hold to long-press so it will let me know where I am
it will let me know about my applications galaxy store phone messages calendar internet Samsung
notes my files in play store one notification so as you can hear it then holds on to the application
and then shares information and you'd need to double-tap to activate this also works along
the top as well so we can find our time 1203 Bixby notification how to power battery 30
so talkback is a great feature it's very helpful for anyone that is visually impaired
and can be easily used on your device you can also preset this to use the two-volume controls
so you can press and hold them together with the volume up and volume down and it automatically
turn on talkback so underneath talkback Samsung actually split that accessibility settings into
different sections so our first section here is visibility enhancements so the first option inside
here is high contrast theme clicking on high contrast theme it will show you different themes
you can select and change so one of the options is yellow it will load a preview for you which
you then can download and use this makes it easier for you to navigate around your device
by different colours and changing different themes the next option is high contrast fonts
so clicking on this will show further settings or you can automatically turn it on if you want to
if we toggle on you'll see a slight difference in the fonts used your next option is high contrast
keyboard clicking on this again will show you your keyboard and the different options you can use
if we toggle on and you can cycle through the different colour options available
toggle off and it will return to your standard keyboard the next option is highlighted buttons
this will show you buttons more easily and let you know when they've been highlighted your next
the option is colour inversion so colour inversion is slightly different to the dark mode or dark theme
so colour inversion will invert all the colours so let's go back home and you can see all the colours
have been inverted returning back to the settings option and toggling off-colour inversion will show
you what your natural theme is the next option is colour adjustments so you can adjust the colour if
you want to toggle on and then scroll down you've got different options you've got grayscale which
is really good for reading content you've got personalized colour as well you can change and
adjust and you can choose if you want the red green option green red option and the blue-yellow
option so you can change and adjust this device so much to make it your own underneath is another
an option that I really like is a colour filter so a colour filter is an option when toggled on to have
a colour filter over your display completely so you can change the opacity of this if you want to
and you can scroll through we've got blue we've got azor we've got cyan you've got spring green
you've got yellow you've got orange there's different options to choose from here making it easier
and simple for you to change and adjust toggle off and you'll return back to your natural colour
the next option is to remove animations so if you don't want any effects or any style on your device
you can remove these animations by toggling on the The next option is the magnification window so select this
option it will load a panel up for you and you can toggle a shortcut to having a magnification window on
once you toggle this on an accessibility figure or the icon will appear in the bottom right-hand corner
along your icons pressing the accessibility figure will highlight your magnification window for you
and you have different options here so you can make it smaller you can make it even larger
or you can lock it on screen or then a cancel option so I'm going to just cancel in the actual
magnification settings option you can change the zoom the next option under magnification window
is magnification so magnification is slightly different this will magnify the whole display
for you so you can't triple tap on this display as it is a folding display and they don't want
you to damage it so what you need to do is a toggle on and again you're going to use that shortcuts of
your accessibility figure down the bottom right hand corner so once I tap the accessible figure
I'm going to select the magnification and an orange the box will go all the way around my device i tap
anywhere on the device and it will zoom in for me this will show me then all details of what i
want to see in greater detail i can even pinch in and zoom i can use one finger to move around and
two fingers to move everywhere that i want to around my display making it really easy to use
and because this is a large beautiful display from Samsung it makes it really enjoyable to use press
the back button or even the accessibility icon and this will remove it for you our next option is the
ability to use a large mouse or touchpad pointer so if you need to use a mouse or touchpad device
with your smartphone you can do i really like that option there so that is making it more accessible
for everyone who wants to use their device underneath is the option to change font size
and style so you can change the different style if you want so it's set to default underneath
that option you have the ability to change bold font as well so you can have bold font making
it is really easy to see and then you can change the level of size of your font as well for me i have
mine quite large it is a beautiful large display anyway making it really easy and simple to use
then underneath that, you have screen layout and zoom so you have an option to have a multi-view
option so once you toggle this on it will show you the settings list and then the accessibility
settings or you can just have a standard view where each time you go into a new page it will
load that whole page on the device for you and you also have the ability to change the screen zoom
at the bottom too so that's all the settings that you'll find in visibility enhancements
so let's go back and go into the next section your next section is called hearing enhancement
so as this says in the title this is about all the different settings and options you can change
if you have a hearing impairment so the first an option that you can select is hearing aid support
so if you have a Bluetooth device you can use a Bluetooth hearing aid to connect your smartphone
to get all of your calls get notifications and even use music apps such as spotify
as i know some people use inside here there's further options that you can change and adjust
your hearing aids so it pairs with your device correctly and gets all the support you need
the next option is to amplify ambient sound so you can hear sounds around you in the distance and
your phone will pick it up for you which i think is a really nice option and it just shows what's
around you and you can use headphones for this option the next option is adapt sound so you
can adapt different sounds and different options here so this depends on your age you can slightly
adjust this with your age so i am between 30 and 60. i'll select this option to get the best
preference for me you can also test your hearing as well but you will need some headphones for this
the next option is about your sound balance left or right and you can choose which one you want
to use underneath that you've got mono audio so you have the ability to choose mono audio the
The next option is to mute all sounds so if you don't have any hearing at all you can mute all sounds
the next option underneath is live transcribed so transcribe everything you are saying and it will
write it down on your device for you so let me show you what that sounds like hello i'm ricky
from Ricky's tech talk, i am demonstrating the life talk feature on the Samsung galaxy zed fold 35g
as you can see it doesn't get everything right but it does try its best to make notes you could also
use this for scripting new videos and also for planning your day ahead underneath that you have
live caption so this will come upon any media and we'll try to give you closed captions straight
away and you can use this on different features which i really like it's a really nice option
inside here you can change settings and adjust different options depending on your
need underneath that you have google subtitles or closed captions again you can go in here change
the settings or you can toggle on automatically and at the bottom, you've got sound notifications
so sound notifications are slightly different and we can choose the options here so you can
open sound notifications and you can go and select your own sound notifications change and adjust the
options that you may use because a different sound might be a lot more helpful for certain things
so coming back that's all the hearing enhancement options there really nice amount of settings and
options to change inside here especially if you have a hearing enhancement need your next
the section is called interaction and dexterity so inside here we have a range of different options
for people that may need to use their phone in a the different way so the first one is a universal switch
this is where it uses switches and controls to manipulate your device and you can use different
options to control your phone if you're unable to with your hand or fingers, i really like this
option of course accessories are sold separately but you can get support from local charities and
even national charities to get these universal switches your next option is an assistant menu
so toggling inside here you can change and adjust the options once toggled on so toggle one and it
will give you four dots now appear on your home screen if you tap these four dots it will show
a range of accessibility settings and options you can change automatically very quickly wherever you
are on your device which i really do like and now you've toggled it on it shows you all the settings
you can change in the menu as well our next option is about answering and ending calls so tap inside
here and we can change different options such as read caller name allowed so when you receive a
call you can answer calls automatically you can Press the volume up to answer calls and you can
press the side keys to end calls so you can choose which option best suits you underneath that you've
got interaction control so this will block you from moving from different screens if you're
using a child and they want to use your phone you can block the whole screen so they can't
press any buttons and stay on the app they're on a really nice option there and parents must
go and check that out underneath that you have touch and hold delay again that's for dexterity
and maybe someone's suffering from tremor or shake you have tap duration too again that's
same with tremors and shakes you've got to ignore repeated touches again the same down you've got
auto click after pointer stops so that's if you're using a large mouse pointer or a mouse device with
your smartphone and then you've got sticky keys slow keys and bounce keys so sticky keys is when
you press a modified key like shift or control you don't have to keep pressing it slow keys type
by touching and holding for a set time before that key takes action so bounce keys prevent accidental
key pressing by setting a delay there are all the options you're going to find in interaction
and dexterity then you have advanced settings so you have advanced different options inside here
accessibility button so that's your fourth icon down at the bottom screen your accessibility
figure you can change and adjust which options best suit you we then have side and volume keys so
if you press the two side and volume keys you can preset your own option majority of the time this
is preset to talk back but you can go inside here and change which option best suits you underneath
that you've got your side and volume keys that are pressing the power button and your volume key you
can set an option you've got your volume up and down key so inside here that's normally preset to
talk back when you first get your device but you can change and adjust which option you want to use
you have the ability to use flash notifications so most people know that you can use the camera
flash at the back but you can also use the whole screen as well if you want to
to tap in the whole screen and then tapping preview it will show you what it looks like
the next option that i really like is time to take action so time to take action is when you receive
a notification sometimes it slides down and then disappears very quickly you may need some time to
actually, take action on this so you've got a default 10 seconds 30 seconds one minute or two minutes
you can change and then adjust which option you want to use your next option is to speak keyboard
input aloud so if you want to know that you're typing the correct thing you can have that option
then you have Bixby vision for accessibility i want to discuss this in further detail actually
make a dedicated video about Bixby vision on accessibility so please watch out for that and
make sure to subscribe if you haven't already and then at the bottom, it says
looking for anything else and there are different options it can go into underneath that you've
got installed services so just coming back now installed services it just mentions what we've
installed already so live transcribe magnification sound notifications and different options there
underneath that, you've got about accessibility so give you the about information and they may be
a software update as well so make sure to go and check that out and then finally at the bottom one
section i really do like is the contact us so you can contact samsung if you need help and support
so it will load up the Samsung contact us page and you can get in touch and get help and support if
needed one other part i just want to talk about is if you go into your main settings section
and then into display options, you have a couple of options inside here that are not inaccessibility
so one of them is to choose the light side or the dark side that's your theme which is different to
color inversion as i mentioned earlier and you've got dark mode settings so you can set a schedule
if you want to you can change and adjust your brightness a very bright display as always from
Samsung and it is very good so i do recommend the display you can have adaptive brightness
which automatically changes with you depending on your location and your lighting you've got motion
smoothness so options to choose the motion there comfort shield so this will put a protective
layer and remove that harsh blue light it's really good for late-night reading or using during the
night time or early mornings so screen mode you can choose the different colors so they've got
vivid or natural you can make it a warmer or cooler display depending on your options there
you've got full-screen apps so making sure it uses all of the screen your screen timeouts i use all
the time so i said it's 10 minutes so it doesn't lock within about three seconds of me putting it
down you've got easy mode so you have the option to use easy mode which is large applications
on the device and takes away a lot of the sort of style and design but has easy mode there so
coming home there all the accessibility settings you're gonna find on the Samsung galaxy zedfold 3
5g these will be the same settings you'll find on the z flip 3 and other Samsung devices including
the brand new s22 series that's just come out but we'll be taking a dedicated look at that too
i'm really pleased with the manta settings on here and that's why i say it's potentially one of the
best accessible devices I've used to date because it's a beautiful large display once unfolded or
unflipped it's so nice and so easy to use from Samsung i know all the settings will be in there
that i need to use making it more accessible for me to use as a visually impaired content creator
making it easy for me to just sit back and enjoy streaming and watching the latest contents
