/ I'm Ricky from Tech Talk and today we're going to go through the
accessibility features you'll find on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 so the Samsung
Galaxy Note 8 is a device that could pull you away easily from iOS and iPhone
so as you know I returned my iPhone X I wasn't happy with it the face ID didn't
work with my eyesight but the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is a device and a half you
could really enjoy this device and let me show you why with the accessibility
features it makes it so diverse and easy for everyone to use so for this you need
to go into settings that's what I need to do is go into settings which is here
or you can search up at the top in settings head towards the bottom it's
actually fifth from bottom so this is my only little drawback about the settings
option on here is I wish they'd put it either right the top or right the bottom
so it's easier to find so it's called accessibility click on
accessibility and Samsung have split this in sections again giving diverse
and a wide array of options for people with multiple different disabilities so
as you'll know I have a visual impairment so we're going to go into
vision first so at the top you have voice assistant so let's toggle voice
assistant on each screen to perform the related action ok so I can then
highlight stuff in my taskbar so voice assistant will talk back
everything you touch and highlights so let's go into sessions double tap okay
so it's nice to know you have all them options there and is great feature to
you so this is one of the most features that vision impaired people actually use
and also large text I've tested it out for good amount of time on the device
haven't had any issues I think it works better than the iPhone iOS version so
when voice assistant is actually turned on you can then enable these features
under here so you have dark screen so this will actually turn off
flavors still use your device you got rapid key inputs speak your passwords so
you can actually speak out your password then accessibility shortcuts that you
can access anytime so if we just go in here you have a two step process so
press and hold the power button until you feel or hear a sound or vibration
tap and hold two fingers on display until you hear information being
provided you have voice labels that you can set up with NFC screen zoom and
fonts so as you can see here the font is already larger you can actually increase
the display as well you can see these are adjustable down here at the bottom
and as you can see I've got my font adjusted and then you can have bolder
text as well that's up you have cancel or apply you have high contrast fonts as
well if you turn this off you'll notice a difference in the font again you have
this for the keyboard which i think is a great option so you got show button
shapes as well if you need to see the shapes you have magnification window
first of all so if I have this on toggle this on you can see I have a window up
here at the top that I can use with one finger to move around and adjust where I
need to 5 toggle on magnification gestures here again a greet all of these
three quick taps will zoom in to the display you can then use two fingers but
you see how fluid the motion is you not get this on an iPhone one two three
again comes out so you can always get this feature as well by its happen three
times but holding on your third time so one two three will just zoom in very
quickly remove your finger and then that moves it straight away then you have the
ability of a large mouse or touchpad pointer grayscale so you can hit
grayscale here as you can see the colors go into grey you have the ability for
negative colors remember this will really change your display when going
through the home screen if you need to have it it's there which is another
great feature and finally at the bottom you have color adjust so in color adjust
here you can change the settings to the color representation that you want for
your device but I'm leaving it as standard for the moment so first of all
that is just the vision section there's loads of settings in here and so much
diversity moving into the hearing section now so you have sound detectors
this is great feature and I need to test this out so inside here you've got baby
crying detector a doorbell detector you can change the doorbell sound
recent alerts will show here so it's great to have the detection purposes
especially with a baby crying and this is what I like to show that Samsung are
just catering for every disability and I think it's fantastic to see the next one
that I like to also use is flash notifications so the LED on the back
will flash then you have mute all sound so this will mute your whole device
underneath you have the choice of either Samsung subtitles or Google subtitles a
choice are yours you have left or right sound balance now
find at the bottom you've just got mono audio so underneath hearing you've got
dexterity and interaction with your device Universal switch to control your
device with your selected switches your assisted menu easy screen turn on tap
and hold delay click after pointer stops and interaction control as well to move
in on it down you have some extra settings as well you have text to speech
output Direction lock so it swipes to unlock but you can change that in here
as well you have direct access you can have a reminder for your notifications
answering an ending call so you can change that in here as well a single tap
mode as well that's available to you accessibility settings backup which I
think it's a great idea so you can backup all your settings say you're
moving over to a device or you want to just do a general backup anyway
backing up the settings that you choose every time so you don't have to go
through all this list once again it's a great idea again a great nod to Samsung
for doing this then you do have services and one other thing I want to show you
down here as well is easy mode so if we click in easy mode so easy mode will
actually change the way your device looks so first of all if we just go home
this is how your device looks in standard mode now let me change it into
easy mode so you can see the difference so now in easy mode the icons are a lot
bigger you get dedicated icons here on the home screen everything is enlarged
and it's great to use again for anyone that has a visual impairment has a
little bit of problems with dexterity and actually touch in the small icons I
think this is a great idea and I'm just so impressed like I said I thought Apple
was always leading the way with settings but I am very wrong again with the
Samsung Galaxy Note 8 here it's the same on their Samsung Galaxy S 8 range as
well you're going to find all these settings over in a while
range of disabilities helping people use their smartphones and use these brand
new technology which i think is a fantastic idea
myself being registered blinds and gets users device like everyone else I'm just
so impressed for me it's been one of the best videos that I've managed to take a
look at accessibility wise if you do have any questions queries anything

Thanks always watch it and I'll be seeing you very soon bye for now
