About narrator

A narrator will read any text or context clues in the user interface. This helps navigate and explain where the user is without the need to clearly see the screen.

How to configure

  1. Tap the On mode after Narrator (reference 1).

    Note: The narrator will start narrating every part of the user interface the moment the On is tapped.
    Tip: The first tap makes the narrator read what was pressed. The second tap confirms the action.
