welcome everyone i'm ricky from tech talk and in today's video i'm going to go through the
accessibility settings and options we find on the brand's new huawei p40 pro
plus so when you first get your device there were some options at the beginning setup stage
so there were options for magnify and screen reader as well as changing the text so if you
go and watch my unboxing video and set up video it will show you them settings in there but today
we're going to go through the features and options you can change once your device is set up so first
of all is your volume key so i'm just going to make sure the volume is turned up here so there
is something called a volume key shortcut so you can press and hold the two volume keys together
screen reader when touch exploration is enabled you can touch the screen to learn
what is under your finger for example there are icons on the current screen
touch the screen and slide your finger to select an app home button who airway home pull down to
refresh so it's on our home page here and i can touch different applications to know what they are
music video support health double touch to activate double touch and hold to reveal more
options so that lets us know what it is and what we can do with extra options I can also highlight
the time 1051 double touch to activate I can also highlight the temperature 10 51 Friday the
9th of October princess Risborough sunny current temperature 11 degrees celsius today's high 13
degrees today is low 5 degrees so it goes through everything for me which is really great to see
and this works throughout the system-wide wherever you are whatever application you're in it will
narrate everything back to you you've got gesture controls to move around screen 2 of 2 screens 1 if
we're going to settings settings settings and then two fingers you get the tone of going up and down
home button who air way pull down to refresh it's not saying huawei quite correctly though but it's
narrating everything for us you can also go up to your system items up here at the top and we
can highlight as well battery 19 nfc enabled 1052 so that is the voice over reading service which
is really good to see here and really nice to see that they've implemented this on the huawei device
and i'm really impressed to see what else they have so let's turn this off
screen reader disabled so now let's go and have a look at further accessibility settings so go into
your settings icon scroll all the way down to the bottom which i've already done here
and what you need to do is accessibility features so inside here we've got accessibility
so the very top is accessibility so at the very top we've got screen reader which i've just shown
you which is preset to the volume key shortcut you can go in here and you can change settings
if you want to but a great option to see we then have text to speech which can change your pitch
and for some reason it's grayed out on the speech rate here but it's using huawei's
text-to-speech option so it's nice to still have that option inside here you have mono audio so you
can choose if you want mono audio we then have captions and you can turn captions on or off so
if we toggle them on here you've got a couple of presets so we've got language we've got text size
and caption style that you can change and adjust and it's nice to see that we have captions on here
underneath that you have color correction and you can toggle color correction on here and you
can choose which one you want and again you have a couple of presets here to choose from and again
you can toggle that on and off just depending on you underneath that we've got magnification
so i'm going to toggle on so once told on one two three three quick taps and your whole display will
zoom in and you can see everything on your display here which is really good wherever you go so i can
go right to the top here i can see bits there i can also pinch in as well and as you've got
really large beautiful display here you can really see everything in great detail so come back one
two three to come back there is also another option one two three hold on your third tap
and then it will quickly zoom in but as soon as you let go it will zoom out which is really
good option so wherever you are so we're in our settings here three quick taps and again you'll be
able to magnify so one two three we can magnify and see our options here one two three to come
back again great option to see magnification on here as well you then have a large mouse pointer
so if you want to use a mouse pointer to navigate around your device you can do underneath that
you've got color inversion so once this is toggled on it'll come out of dark mode and it will invert
the colors so if i go back home here you'll notice the colors are inverted so a bit different when
you're in dark or light mode but the colors are inverted and it makes it a little bit easier for
someone to see so let's just jump back down into accessible settings here and into accessibility
and we can turn this off and it shouldn't actually go back into dark mode which it does which is a
really good option you have high contrast text and this is going to be making it easier to read
the subtitles and text for you if you want to and it's taken as out of dark mode but i'll show you
how to get back into that underneath that we've got advanced visual effects so you can turn these
on or off depending on your choice underneath that is the accessibility shortcut and that is
where i was pressing the two volume keys so you've got shortcuts and you can also do it on the lock
screen and you can choose which option you want to change so if you don't want it to narrate to you
you can actually choose a different option really good options to see here underneath that you've
got touch and hold delay so this is for dexterity and interaction you've got click after cursor stop
so if you're using a large mouse or pointer it will click after you've stopped moving the power
button can end calls so the power button is down the right hand side here and it's just underneath
the volume controls sadly there's no visual or tactile differences between the options there
but again it's nice to have these options built into the accessibility settings
finally at the bottom we've got about answering calls with bluetooth device and member center
where you can go and get some help or advice or if you do need any help or advice please leave
a comment below and i'm going to be more than happy to help so that's all the options that
we find in accessibility section so going back to the main accessibility features section here that
was really nice to see all the options that huawei have implemented in accessibility options as they
have lost google services now they had to create their own and they've done a really good job here
and it makes the device accessible and that's really important for myself with a visual
impairment and also really important to anyone else that may need to change their device settings
to allow them to use this great smartphone so underneath they've got some other options that
might be beneficial to you so you've got one hand mode so if you're using the three capacitive touch
buttons you'd go from the middle to the left or the right if you're using the gesture control
that we're using here you're going to swipe up from the bottom corners in a diagonal motion
you can toggle that on and use that if you want to a good option if your hand can't reach
right across the display then we've got shortcuts and gestures and inside here we've got a lot of
different options so your first one is ai voice and you have an ai system built in here that can
help you do different things with your phone and also find you different options from the web as
well so toggle that on and use that and that uses the power button you then have an ultra snapshot
this is where you can use the button to take a quick snapshot or open the camera to capture
that perfect moment so taking a screenshot you just knock on the display so there we go it's
taking a screenshot for me which is great and i can use that later or i could even share that
over to the actual huawei mate book if i want to with huawei share you can also draw in xero
and that's highlighted that little section for me and now i can highlight that and send it off to
friends or family which is another good option and then finally you've got scroll shots so
if you draw an s
and we're going to allow and that will start to scroll for me which is a really good option
if there's a web page that you want to share to someone as well really good options i have here
new gesture control options which i really like you have the option to record your screen that
uses two knuckles so simply just tap on with two knuckles and then this will allow you to start
recording your screen if you so want to we've got wake screen so this is where you lift it up
and it wakes up so if we lock it here lift up and as you can see it uses the face unlock and away we
go again underneath that we've got mute ring tone and notifications so you flip over and this will
silence it for you and also you've got the other option of where you'll pick it up and you'll see
your notifications coming in which again a good option to see there answering calls so you can
actually lift up your device to answer a call if you so want to don't want that one just in case i
don't want to answer the call and then you have air gesture so you've got to air scroll so you
just swipe down you then have air scroll to swipe up you just flick up and you can actually grab a
screenshot so let's try it out so we're going to go yes and we're going to start there we go and
we can grab shot as well and we're going to try this so all it is is a clamp of the hands there
we go it's grabbed a shot for us great little options there to use so you might not use them
all the time but it's nice to have these options available to you so that's what's in gesture and
shortcuts then you have multi-window so you have a multi-window option here if you so want to use it
you've got the peak option where you can pull out here and you can choose the application tap again
and then you just drag an application we can get another application so save this one and
we're going to split it in half so you can watch content or you can browse your files and you can
do multiple different things all in one go and we can swipe up to go home and instantly go home
and if you swipe up here you've got our multi window still open which is really good you can
just jump straight back into so i like using the multi window option there to view content
while i'm maybe browsing the web as well really good options to see there we have smart cover
so if you have the huawei smart cover for the huawei p40 pro plus you can use a smart cover
just toggle that switch on underneath we have miss touch prevention so if you accidentally double tap
don't worry this option toggled on will save you we have glove mode it's getting very cold here
in the uk very autumnal now lovely beautiful colors and i can't wait to actually take some
shots on this phone but glove mode will mean you can use that if you want to and then finally at
the bottom we've got system navigation so for some of the settings you're going to need the
three keys at the bottom or you can use gesture or they've got one other mode here which has a dock
you can use a main dock if you want to i prefer gesture because then i've got all of my display
so that's everything you see in the accessibility features section there in settings
just the other one i want to highlight is your display so displaying brightness you can change
the brightness so quite low at the moment but it is a very bright display really nice to see
you can have it automatic which will then change and adjust depending on your light source around
you i think that you've got color mode and temperature so you can change and adjust the
colors depending on you i think that is sleep so this is when it automatically goes to sleep i've
got it on the longest eye comfort it's got a to vryland certification for eye comfort control
really good options on here and you can filter the blue mode you also have flicker reduction here at
the bottom a good option to see there so just go through change the settings depending on you
dark mode let's toggle this back on we'll go into dark mode for you and for me what i really do like
to see here and this changes wherever you go in the system so if i just toggle this off again pull
down you'll notice it changes instantly wherever you go some applications yes will work some maybe
not text and display size this should always be an accessibility but they leave it in display for
some reason so you can change your text size and your display size and you've got some presets here
and you can change and adjust them really good options to see there obviously a very beautiful
display and you can change the screen resolution depending on you currently got it smart but you
can set it to high or low and it just depends what you want to do really if you want your battery to
last all day maybe a little bit lower or smart option but it just depends what you want you've
got screen refresh rates so i've got it set to high and you can have it set to standard and just
means when you flick for a menu you'll go smooth like butter you've got more display settings but
nothing really they're important to use the only other one i do want to mention here is simple mode
and this just makes it a little bit easier for you larger icons strips away a lot of the actual
overlay stuff just makes it easier to use so there are the settings there that are important when it
comes to accessibility so as well as all the settings and the features that i've just shown
you can also use this application here that i launched with honor and it's through the huawei
app gallery it's called pocket vision it's a great application i'm really pleased to say that i still
use this now for different things around me you can take a screenshot of something and it will use
the ai system on board to read it back to you i'll put the link into my tv campaign and also a full
review of this application but it's really nice to see you can download this on a huawei device
as well so swiping up and going back home it's really nice to see all the options and settings
that huawei have implemented for accessibility on their new device it's really important that
yes they've stepped away from google and the services that they offer but that meant also that
google removed some of the accessibility settings which was a little bit worrying not to worry
though huawei have implemented their own created their own options and is just as good to use as
what previous devices were really happy to see the options on here making it accessible for me to use
as a visually impaired person and hopefully making it accessible for you to use as well
no matter your ability to you the audience what do you think is it accessible enough could they
do more could you see something different on here let me know in the comments it's always great to
hear from you for me ricky thank you always for watching if you haven't yet please subscribe to
