welcome everyone today I want to talk about the accessibility settings and features that we find
on the one plus 9 so you may have seen recently I unboxed and shared my first thoughts of the
stunning looking one plus 9. however today going and diving into the settings and flipping some
switches and seeing which settings and features appear on the one plus 9 to make sure your device
is most accessible to you just for reference the settings and features I show and talk about
on this device will also appear on the one plus 9 pro 2. so at the very beginning you sign in to your
account and even get your device up and running just at the very first step of setup, there is
options there for accessibility and i did show them in the vision settings section
which is great to see and means that you can use your device yourself
and still maintain your independence and being accessible but using the latest technology which
i think is really important so once your device is set up however there are so many
different ways of getting to your settings and also beginning with the two volume keys
so this is known as your volume key shortcut which should give you talkback so using the two
volume keys down the left hand side pressing holding them together talkback has begun it
took you into a tutorial to start off with there's loads of steps there for navigation
movement and control options so talkback will talk back everything you see on your display so it's
picked up our home screen option here plus it will include applications phone messages chrome camera
gallery double tap to activate double tap and hold to long press actions available use swipe up then
right to view so we can see actions as well which is great will also help along the top here to
get your percentage your battery your time or any notification as well on plus widget double tap and
battery 56 screenshot notification screenshot captured so i captured the screenshots
talkback will work throughout your display as well so navigation is two fingers discover
xbb so i can read different things here spring is great liverpool aston villa
double tap liverpool 0 aston villa 1. double tap to activate come back home screen folder home
screen two of two and it will tell me everything you can use this wherever you are on your device
that's talkback it is a great feature it is in settings but because i've demonstrated it here
we won't talk about it so much but that is a great option to see to turn off just use the volume keys
talkback will then turn off which is great and then we can dive in and take a look at these
settings in greater detail so you can either search on your device for it you can ask google
assistant but for me the best option is swiping up we could also search for accessibility inside here
if not go to settings inside settings you will need to go into system so once inside
here we're going to tap accessibility and then we've got a range of different options
to go through here together if there's any questions feel free to drop a comment below
so our first option is accessibility menu so we're going to toggle this on
once toggled on and you're using the back home gesture option here we've got the three buttons
along the top so all okay got it it will add a fourth icon here which then once pressed we'll
show you your accessibility menu and we can jump into any settings here to make it easier for you
it's great so if i just press back here that'll take us back to the accessibility menu we can
toggle that on or off there really nice option to see here underneath that you then have the
option of select speak this is slightly different to talk back this will only speak and narrate
things back to you that you've highlighted and asked it to do so let's toggle this on and again
this is going to give you the fourth icon down here at the bottom just remind you where it is
so we can see we've got paragraph down here so press this icon here you've got the play
and the record or pause button there and i can select this area no text found at that location
when select to speak is on you can tap specific items in your screen to hear them read aloud
so if i stop this now and then start again it will go from the top options select a speak shortcut
accessibility button on so if you realized it actually started at the top there whereas when
i selected the option it started down here select speak will work with text messages will work with
messenger whatsapp however you want to use it facebook it will work no problems whatsoever
underneath that we have switch access so switch access will give you ability to use switches and
controls to use your smartphone so if you're not able to use your hands with your display here or
find it a little bit difficult you can use switch options and buttons to control this jumping into
settings you're going to find a very wide range of settings here to change adjust and just fine tune
to the best for you making it more independent and making you free to use your smartphone
just like everyone else really nice options to see there just briefly as i've mentioned this
already is the talk back feature and again with inside here you can go into settings change and
adjust when and how it will work and the flow of it for you so that's the talkback as i discussed
that will work wherever you are and that will talk back instantly everything that is on your display
so a little bit different there to the select to speak option but talkback is one of my favorite
options to use underneath that we've got text to speech outputs so this is where you can change
your rate and your tone so the speech rate and the pitch of it so we can demonstrate here
this is an example of speech synthesis in english that's actually quite slow for a
lot of people that use this on a regular basis so if i play it again it's playing the same sentence
exactly the same sentence there but that is the normal standard speed
change the pitch as well if you want to so or you can make it a bit deeper it's up to you
it's just up to you you press reset here and it reset to default
so you can change and adjust the options there to you we then have font size
so you can change and adjust the font size here which i've already done just making it a bit
easier for me then we've got display scaling so you can change this a little bit so we've
got default at the moment i might actually go to large or it's got another option there as well
i'll tell you what i bet this makes it easier for me to read this yes it does underneath that we've
got magnification so once toggled on here we'll get our fourth icon down here at the bottom tap
and then i can just quickly jump in here to read something if i want to you can pinch in
with a large display six point five five inches it's a fluid amoled display here from oneplus
looks beautiful with large text there making it really easy to read and then as soon as
i press it'll jump back what i can do is just press here with one finger highlight
and jump straight away just making it very quick and you'll get used to this you'll get
a natural flow as well so that's magnification underneath that you've got then color correction
and you can change the different color options here making it easier for you to use your device
depending on you and what works best for you so you can adjust the colors the different levels
of hues and tones in the display because a lot of people struggle with a bright white you can
have the dark mode as well so it's up to you which ones you choose so underneath that we've got color
inversion so we can toggle this on here you've got color inversion coming back it'll actually
invert most of the colors that you see on your device so it's a little bit different to dark
mode but you have that option there and you can also set it as a shortcut again if you want to
with your fourth icon down there at the bottom so underneath that one we've got large mouse pointer
so if you're using a mouse with your device you can have a large mouse pointer and you can remove
animations making it a bit easier to use if you said want to then you have auto lock which is
dwell timing so again you can change and adjust this depending on you if it takes a little bit
more time to take in action maybe this might be a good option to use here you can use your power
button to end calls the power button is down the right hand side and actually textually different
to the one plus slider that you have here which changes between ring silent and vibrate depending
what one you want to use there your power button can end calls which is great you've got auto
rotate screen so if you're playing games that will happen instantly but you've got the options there
to auto rotate screen you've got touch and hold delay for dexterity and interaction use again with
your device just again you can change and adjust this and making it best for you another great
option that's quite new is time to take action so when you get a notification it normally comes down
sits there for a little while and then dismisses this option here gives you time to see what it is
act on it then dismiss it when you're ready so time to take action is a great option to see
then you've got vibrate and haptic strength so you can change the vibrate and the haptic feel
moving on to audio here you've got live captions so it can give you live captions if you so want to
toggle in here and you can see the options here again going through settings adjusting to you
and if you want to know any about these please do let me know and i can go into greater detail
today just highlighting all the different options that you do have here that will make your device
more accessible to you we've got mono audio and we've got the audio balance of left and right
you've got hearing aid compatibility so you can use hearing aid with this as well
underneath that you've got caption preferences and you can change and adjust the caption preferences
here we also then have high contrast text so if i toggle this it becomes a little bit
more bolder a little bit more easier to read we've got an advanced option which i've never
seen before which just has shortcut for lock screen so it means you can get to these settings
on the lock screen if you so want to so that's the settings that we see in accessibility let's just
come out of that same it's not in the main list here but you could search for it as well as shown
just want to come into display which is near the top here if we just dump in display we've
got a couple of other options inside here that may interest you so you've got your brightness
first of all so you can change and adjust your brightness we've got adapter brightness off
on but as soon as i turn it off you can change and adjust your brightness here
we'll stick to the adaptive brightness you've got comfort tone so again that will help with comfort
you've got advanced options again you can go inside here um which was the other one i want
to mention is the dark mode so toggle one dark mode makes it a little bit easier for you to read
but going home it keeps the same colors and same tones of the applications
which is great to see as well so let's just jump back into our menu here come back is
there anything else again we've got font size the scaling the status bar which is up at the top here
but that's about it that is all the accessibility settings that we find on the oneplus 9 here which
is great to see so coming back home and reflecting on the amount of settings that this device
offers it is really important that there are these options here to help with vision
to help with hearing to help with interaction and dexterity and they help them sort of put a blanket
over all different accessible needs and requirements for anyone that is using this device
