I am not sure what phone you have, but what you can do is download an app,
called:
Keyboard tutor.
This app would read out all the keys on your QWERTY keyboard, and on your
soft keys on your touch screen. Just keep this in mind that once you hit the
home soft key it would take you out of keyboard tutor.
Hey I wrote this out for a friend of mine, but I think this also might help
you.
Get to know your soft keys on the touch screen.
Normally this would be above, the talk, and end keys.
1. Above the talk key on the left side would be the menu key.
This key would give you options, in what you can do with in an application.\
2. Above the talk key closer to the center touch navigation, would be the
home key.
This key would bring you back to the home menu.
3. Above the end key, butt closer to the navigation key, would be the back
key.
The back key would throw you back to the previous menu, and or close out the
application that you are currently in.
4. Above the end key, closer to the edge of the phone, would be the search
key pressing this key with some letter keys will open an application. This
would also allow you to setup any other letters that are not being used, to
do the same.
Note: generally these soft keys are in the order listed above, but on some
phones they might be in a different order.
I hope that helps.
Good luck.

Hi Pedro,
Thanks, that is what I meant. My phone has a send and end call button. I
just have to figure out the layout of the soft keys.

With most phones that have a full QWERTY keyboard, they have a delete key,
but all phones, have the back key on the screen itself. On most android
phones, the back key would be one of the soft keys, but on the phone that I
have, the Samsung transform ultra, the menu, home, back, and search keys are
right below the screen, and they are physical keys.
I hope that’s what you’re speaking about.
Good luck.

Hi Pedro,
Thanks for the info. Do you know if the hardware keyboard has a backspace
key? Thanks,

If your phone stop speaking, after it giving you the warning, that you’re
leaving m.a. is because accessibility is unchecked.
Go to apps, settings, accessibility, and make sure that both accessibility,
and mobile accessibility, is checked. You should be ok, once that’s done.
Good luck.

Hi Pedro,
I did what you suggested and that solved the problem. Thanks a bunch.
I have another question. For some reason when I hear the warning message
that you are leaving ma I don't get any speech. Also when I go into the
phone app I don't get any speech. Did I un-check something I shouldn't
have? Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks,

If you want to stop the phone from reading the location, every 2 or 3
seconds.
Just back out of the where am I, app.
Or click on your home screen. And to stop it from reading constantly, while
you are in the where am I, app, click on your menu button and uncheck the
gps satellite, and it would stop reading out your location.
Good luck.

Hi All,
I just want everyone to know I finally got my mobile accessibility demo
loaded on my phone. My question is when I tried the where am I app I got my
location but, now every few minutes it keeps repeating the location. How
can I stop this from happening? Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
