everyone ricky here from rikki's tech talk in today's video we're going to be taking a look
at the honor 50 and we're going to be taking a look at the accessibility settings and options
in greater detail and this is a vast improvement on some of their previous devices because google
services have returned this also includes their accessibility settings as google owns
the patterns and rights to the accessibility settings which i only recently found out
once honor had removed google services it had lost that services so it's nice to know the settings
are back so let's go through the settings and features that you can change and adjust
to make this device your own as you may know i'm registered blind myself that's why having a 6.5
inch display on the honor 50 really helps a bigger display is a lot easier to use for me but let's go
through the settings and the options a side note here is when you go through the setup process you
do have options to either turn on talkback which is a voice assistant option or you have the option
of changing some settings enough said now let's go through those features starting with talk back so
make sure your volume is all the way up and press and hold both of them together at the same time
talk back on on a home weather double tap and hold to long press so as you know it tells you
everything so talkback is a great service so first of all you can go through applications on a store
on a club settings gallery folder google play store calendar optimizer camera double tap to
activate double tap and hold to long press so it gives you feedback of what you need to do
if you want to maneuver around your display use two fingers and swipe left or right
so and we can go the other way discover button
up and down button button enter enter assistant today on a home so using two fingers to manipulate
your way through the device left or right this also can be used to go up or down by
using two fingers and as you saw there i went through the google feed to hear the latest news
you could tap on article and hear everything back you can also go up to your taskbar at the top here
system ui 1445 ringer vibrate battery 100 so talkback is a great service and it's really
nice to see this back on the device because the google mobile services is back on this device
and that means that google have bought back the accessibility settings so this makes the device
more accessible to turn talk back off press and hold the volume keys again both of them together
talk back off talkback is now off and let's go into settings and find out more accessible
options that we have here so we could ask google to launch into that if we wanted to
but i want to just show you where it is so tap the gear icon which is full settings scroll all the
way down to the bottom and down here at the bottom we have accessibility features so it's on the main
list which is nice to see it is at the bottom but that's okay we can forgive that and inside
here we have a range of options some that you will get to know quite easily and you should see in my
other previous videos and some are new to certain devices so we're going to go into accessibility
so the first of all it's broken up into sections we've got audio we've got talkback which i've gone
through already but you can go inside here and you can go in and change the settings and change
options if you so wish to so tap more settings and as you can see there's a range of settings there
if you turn on talkback for the first time it will go through a tutorial and we'll take you
a step-by-step guide through the tutorial because i've turned it on and checked it's
worked with this device i haven't been able to show you that tutorial our next option underneath
is selector speak so tap this we're going to toggle one again you get settings once toggled on
you've got a fourth icon down here at the bottom i do recommend having the controls down here at
the bottom the gesture feature is okay to have but you may not have access to this option here
so once toggled on tap the accessible person you can either press play or touch anywhere to hear
it being read back to you navigate up select to speak select to speak more settings about
no so select to speak is slightly different than talkback talkback will narrate everything back
to you no matter where you are select to speak is in the name you select what you want to be spoken
this is really helpful for when it comes to long emails or long text messages so select to speak is
a nice option and again it's good to see it on this device i'm just going to toggle off if it
wants to go off the next option is text to speech and inside here you can change your speech rate
or your pitch so they're both on their default and this is what it sounds like this is an example of
speech synthesis in english someone like myself who's visually impaired will be a lot faster
because they use it every single day so that was exactly the same sentence but a lot quicker and
you can change the pitch and you can reset both here if you want to but again that's helpful to
have underneath that we have mono audio so you can select have mono audio underneath that you
have captions and you have the ability to change captions we've got language text size and caption
style so you can go in there and choose captions which i think is really helpful and then for me
this is my section here being vision head i want to change some settings inside here
so first of all is color correction we can change the color correction the next one is magnification
so we're going to turn magnification on then with three quick taps on the display you'll zoom in
and you can then move around your display with two fingers you can even pinch in
and with having a large oled panel with over a billion colors with a resolution of 1080 by 2340
this really helps when it comes to reading text especially on this large six point five seven
inch displaying one two three to come back there is also another option three quick taps hold on
the third tap and you can zoom in very quickly one two three it'll zoom in for you you can use
one finger to go wherever you want so maybe i want to just check with the time my battery release and
it jumps out again you don't have to tap to come out really nice option to see there that's very
helpful when it comes to emails or if i need to see something maybe i've taken a photo of
underneath that you've got a large mouse pointer so you can use a mouse pointer if you want to
so you can connect a bluetooth mouse and use that with your smartphone so underneath that you have
color inversion so this will actually in virtual colors let's go home it inverts the colors very
different to dark mode which i'll explain about a little bit later on so let's just jump back
here and if i turn this off it will go back to its normal presetting and as you can see there was a
clear difference there you have high contrast text this makes it bolder and easier to see if you look
at this text under advanced visual effects it slightly changes when i press the high contrast
text making it easier for you to read then you do have your advanced visual effects that you
can turn on or off then in interaction control you have switch access i love this setting this gives
you the ability to use switches and controls with your smartphone to navigate around your phone and
use it any way you want to if you are unable to with controls and smart switches you can have full
access of your phone a very good setting there and i really like to make a video on that underneath
that you have accessibility shortcuts and that is presets to talk back you've got touch and
hold delay that's for dexterity and interaction with your smartphone and click when cursor stops
again that's if you're using the mouse with your smartphone you've got power button to end the
calls if you want to use your power button to win the calls and then you have a section here
for downloaded services so that's all that you see in the accessibility settings just want to pause
here though for a second because being registered blind is so nice to see the high level of settings
returning to the honor 50 and that's all thanks to the google services also returning to this device
which makes the honor 50 series more accessible and easier to use and i can highly recommend it
in this section they also have their own settings you've got one-handed mode so if we go in here
and you can scroll along the bottom and it'll pinch down into the corner and as you can see
here you've got it in the bottom corner making it really easy then because it is a large display
just tap and you can come back i really like the one hand mode you've got shortcuts and
gestures that you can use so you have the option to take a screenshot and you can just tap with
your knuckle take a screenshot that's really nice or pull down with three fingers next is the option
to start a screen record that takes two knuckles on your display so there we go and we can able
to screen record so we can while using okay and then we've got the settings here for screen record
got it and it's already started i'm just going to stop that there so the next option is to wake your
display so if i lock it here raise up and it'll wake up or i can double tap and it will wake up
as well for me which is really handy swipe up and we can use the facial recognition that we have
in the sort of odot inbuilt camera here the next one is to mute ringtone or reduce volume either
by flipping your phone over or by picking it up it will do that again that's a nice option and answer
calls as well raised to your ear and it will answer your call for you automatically underneath
that we've got the mistouch prevention which is really handy because of a large display sometimes
you accidentally press you don't mean to we've got scheduled power on and off one other option you
may want to go to here system navigation so inside here you've got the three key navigation we have
four with the accessibility figure or you've got the gesture control and you can try the gestures i
would prefer just having the three buttons or the four buttons along the bottom so that's everything
that we find in accessibility scrolling up to the top or you could type in the search section
i just want to show you display because in display there's a little bit more you can change
first of all is your brightness and we've got automatic or you can set your own
you've got color mode and temperatures again you can go in here and change the hue of the display
depending what works best for you again someone visually impaired that's helpful
sleep time so mine is set to 10 minutes and then the device will go to sleep
and turn off the display but for me i have that quite long because i'm either filming
talking or using my device you've got eye comfort control here that you can turn
on or off and that's really good to see that's back on the device as well you've got something
new here which is e-book mode and as you can see it grays it out making it really easy that's
really good if you want to read a book an ebook or read emails you have dark mode which is different
to color inversion so if i toggle dark mode on here it will change everything dark in the menus
the systems but the colors stay the same wherever you go and again some applications will change
automatically some won't depending how they've set up and gone through the system so coming back into
here we're just going to toggle dark mode off at the moment because i started it in the the default
settings but i just want to show you that option text and display size i've changed it slightly
so i can read it so one other one is your screen refresh rates this is where it will automatically
dynamically change your screen refresh rate 120 hertz really fast fluid motion what that means is
when you scroll up and down it just works very quickly very smoothly now most phones have 120
hertz even including newer devices from likes of apple and samsung have that now it's really
nice it's made it to the honor 50. there is a pro variant but it's nice it's on the honor 50 as well
you've got more display options you can go inside here and change as well if you want to
and it has suggested ones down here at the bottom so simple mode really nice large key
options so just press and use your device and also you have the always on display which i like
because it gives me information and notifications because i received so much here from the channel
and my other social media platforms coming back home it's time to sort of think about
what this device offers and is it right for you big tick that the google services has returned
because i didn't realize that google took away the accessibility options when you lost
the google play store and the google services a huge tick there for honor for getting the
google services back and including the google accessibility settings such as the talkback the
magnification select to speak and all of the other options i've gone through however you
